Access Hidden .Onion Sites With Tor2Web
by James • May 1, 2012 • Info, Tutorial
Have you ever heard of the dark web? Have you ever stumbled upon a link with a .onion on the end of it and wondered what it was all about? Well TOR, or The Onion Router is a lesser-known internet protocol that enables your computer to browse on a separate internet, that has it’s own network of sites you can access, thus, the .onion suffix.
This is important: Certain things like Flash and Javascript can give away certain information, so please read deeper into this topic if you are interested, as this is not a tutorial.
Many people don’t want to mess with the configuration of even the simplest forms of TOR such as TORbrowser, so there is Tor2Web, which allows you to just replace the .onion on the end with .tor2web.org and voila! secret web at your fingertips with no installs!
