Holy Thread Revival, Spiderman! After nearly four years of fear-induced procrastination, I have, at the invitation of my VPN provider, finally taken the plunge into the DARK WEB!
Utilizing the latest TOR (the onion router) browser set on "safe" behind expressVPN, I have spent several days surfing the vast underbelly of the internet with no problems, touch wood! There are a huge number of interesting sites; I stay away from those featuring porn, drugs, murder for hire, and easy money schemes. I have not noticed any significant degradation in connection speeds nor an eruption of spy/malware attempts.
If other Pruners have suggestions regarding methodology or worthwhile Dark Web sites to visit, I would be most interested! Thank you.
