Accessing the Dark Web with Qubes
To launch Tor Browser, run the following:
- Qubes App Launcher (blue/grey "Q") | Domain: anon-whonix | Privacy Browser
- Now you can surf the Dark Web with Tor Browser, anonymously and privately, using Qubes OS (with a little help from Whonix), by entering the URLs of
.onion
sites into the browser address bar, as you would in a standard browser.
Note
Always remember, do NOT provide your real details on the Dark Web: not your name, address, emails, and definitely not your credit card details.
Even though we're discussing how to access the Dark Web in a more secure and private manner, remember the cardinal rule: do not trust software! They all have inherent vulnerabilities and can be exploited by attackers. Using security, privacy, and anonymity-focused operating systems helps minimize the risk, but it's never enough.
Be careful.
