How It Works

GETTING ACCESS

-

Because it’s not designed to be found, getting access to the darknet is done using specialist software. Instead of using regular browsers, anyone heading to the darknet uses something called The Onion Router (Tor) hidden service protocol. Tor has multiple layers of connectivi­ty, enabling users to stay anonymous. Once they access the server, someone using the darknet isn’t looking at websites on interconne­cted servers, but sites that are all self-contained on the network. While ordinary sites have addresses ending in terms like .com, these dark web sites end with .onion.
