Dark Web Sites

For individuals living under oppressive regimes that block large parts of the internet or punish political dissent, the dark web is a lifeline. In freer societies, it can deliver privacy and anonymity for those wary of how corporations and governments are tracking, using, and potentially monetizing their data.

However, the same privacy and anonymity that provide protection from tyrants also make the dark web a springboard for crime. Illicit activities like arms trafficking, drug dealing, and even child pornography and violent video games are commonplace on the dark web.

Tor Browser

The Tor Browser is a popular way to access the dark web because it encrypts your data and runs it through several servers in different locations. The layered proxy network protects your privacy while keeping you safe from malicious software and government monitoring.

ProPublica

The Pulitzer Prize-winning news organization maintains a hidden website on the Tor network to ensure that their journalism is accessible to everyone, everywhere. They also have a SecureDrop feature that allows whistleblowers to submit their reports without worrying about being hacked.

BBC News

The BBC understands the importance of making its global news coverage accessible to people around the world. In 2017, the broadcaster launched a.onion mirror of its international edition to make its content more accessible to those who live in totalitarian regimes that might block its normal web presence.

Beneath VT

If you want to explore the steam tunnels beneath Virginia Tech, you can find many interesting and fun sites on the dark web that share information about them. Some of them are also educational, and some of them even have photos.
