Why do you want to use something like this in the first place ? Well I guess it's not my business , but just so you know , it wont make you 100% untraceable , just more difficult to track/monitor activity. If the NSA or however you are afraid of wants to monitor your traffic , they'll find a way.

Tor is a browser used generally to browse the dark web. By itself it's perfectly safe, it's what people tend to do while using it that tends to not be so safe. My advice would always be if you really do need it you're likely up to no good, and if you're just curious ,you could find out what you need to know on YouTube

Small piece of advice from me to you. You can't unsee what you see in the dark web or anywhere else for that matter ,but there's some yucky shit there

i was just curious and maybe search a friends name just to see what it did.

Then just type TOR into Google or any other browser and you'll find the download link for it....The results will be just the same. It's the more illicit content that you might find if you connect to the wrong place

yea i am on the download link now i just wanted to know if it will lock up my pc or make it go crazy or crash it all together.

 

[jboydgolfer]

Not really , I wouldn't say it's safe or unsafe. Point is , if you want to do something that for some reason you don't want anyone to find out because it's of illicit nature , Tor ain't gonna put you behind an impenetrable wall of anonymity and black suvs might turn up at your house. If not , well you don't need to worry about it. It's mostly used by those who want access to hidden services on the web , not necessarily of illicit nature , just not accessible on normal browsers.

There is a youtube channel named SomeOrdinaryGamers , that dude makes a very good job explaining these things in some of his videos regarding the dark web and such.

 

[NTM2003]

that's good info to know to bad i cant find away to use it on iPhone

Tor network is for paranoid people who think they have very important secrets to hide.

All they have is porn.

 

[NTM2003]

i have seen it on house of cards so i was kinda wanted to know if it was easy to use so ya looks like anyone can use it but i never search something like porn because something might show up that you don't want on your pc

 

[dorsetknob]

so if i use it black suvs will show up at my house lol

No not quite yet
just keep looking up and down the street for that white Ecoline panel wagon than keeps appearing " for Street maintenance and the Village person at the top of the Telephone/power pole" !!!

 

[NTM2003]

here they use black Chevy suvs i do believe lol

Tor can be used to post anonymously (more or less) to the legitimate internet, too.

This was actually it's original intended use. To enable people under oppressive regimes to be able to post about their oppression. It's also meant to allow unpopular groups to have their voice be heard, theoretically without being lynched.

Of course, it is abused, but what technology isn't?

 

[jboydgolfer]

I can't recall the channel but there was this what I believe to be Indian guy who actually views the dark web or deep web or whatever you want to call it , during the making of his videos. Mostly it's just snuff videos, or Livestreams of murders, & creeper pedo's. Besides those things, drugs ,after which weird videos like the one with the guy crying eating a bowl of mush with those two black-and-white Teletubby type guys standing behind him mostly it's just wasted garbage.


Stuff like this,iirc this turned out to be a student film 100% harmless, expect stuff like this

or Shaye Saint John – Hand Thing (

Nothing is more abused than GPU nowadays.

Rackless OCing, clueless flashing, card bending, being put into ovens, etc.
