The Onion Router Your Vessel to deep Web: Infographic

We have previously discussed how websites on deep web cover majority of cyberspace, as compared to ones listed by search engines such as Google and Bing etc. But in order to access this vast cyberspace, which is as expansive as outer space (the real one) you certainly cannot rely on conventional means. Therefore, popular web browsers such as Chrome, Firefox and Safari etc. cannot be used to access deep web. For this we need a special vessel, a spaceship that will take you to the vast abyss of deep web. The Onion Router, popularly known as TOR is a free-to-use software that allows you to connect anonymously to the internet. The below infographic will tell you more about how TOR works and how to configure it on your computer.

While TOR can be used by anyone to access deep web pages, it should only be used for specific purposes as you might be targeted by cybercriminals. Criminal activities done on deep web can also be targeted by authorities such as FBI and Interpol. Therefore, it is always best to use this power responsibly and safely.
