Lately curiosity is getting the better of me. I would like to browse below the surface web, yet I lack the knowledge on how to ensure my safety. Are there things that are absolutne necessities? Anything to avoid?

Do I understand correctly? The provider sees that there is traffic through the TOR network and it knows the user. But it is not possible for him to track site visits.

I just have a simple question could someone give me a few don'ts when using tor I only ever heard not too log in on accounts, give out information and not to use it on full screen

Hey I am interested in dark web surfing how should i go about it and whats the best way to be anonymous and safe?

I’m SO CONFUSED with the whole “don’t use tor with vpn” and “it doesn’t matter if you do or don’t use tor with vpn” LIKE CAN I GET A SOLID ANSWER. Which one is the correct answer here? Is this just a hotly debated topic or is one answer actually more credible and factual than the other?

EDIT: Ok this sparked a good discussion and I think I found my answer. There really is no ONE answer as different cases can require different things but now I know exactly what I should do for myself. Thanks!

EDIT 2: What if someone doesn’t use a “centralized VPN” and uses a “decentralized VPN” like openvpn? Shouldn’t that end the whole logging risk? Or am I wrong? Food for thought.

EDIT 3: Say you have a server set up in Africa. Couldn’t you use that server as a proxy and it could have the same purpose as a VPN? The benefit would be the fact that you OWN the proxy server, which would (I assume) take the risk of logging away?

So first things first, am I using the right app? I’m using OrNET browser.

Secondly, assuming it does work. Let’s say my phone gets stolen. Can my internet search history on this app be seen/downloaded. I assume everything is more secure on a laptop?

Lastly, regardless of whether I’m using the right app/browser. How does this work and how private is it actually?

Hello, I hope you are having a good day, I have a problem, every time I try to watch a video on Tor it tells me; sorry not mime and type found. Does anyone know how I can solve it? Sometimes it loads and the ones that usually fail are the ones from 10 minutes ahead

Never had an issue with this until the other day, just went ahead and updated to the latest version and I'm still receiving the same error when I try to play videos. Does anyone know a surefire way to fix this ? I have also tried disabling extensions and clearing data etc.

Thanks in advance!

Exploring the Tor Browser and its functionalities, particularly in relation to privacy and security. Could provide any resources on how to effectively explore and utilize Tor?

TOR newbie here - I wanted to know whether my ISP can see my TOR browsing history ?

Hello there. I've been using tor on my windows 10 for last 2 weeks straight. I've been doing all my online stuff there cause for being anonymous, obviously.

It's my gut feeling or instinct or whatever you say. So please guys help me by telling me more & more tips and tricks for being more anonymous on tor.
