Dark Web Beginners Security Guide

We did plan on creating our own amazing, in-depth deep web security guide for beginners. But, we found one by Jolly Roger that is better than anything we could put together.

The original guide can be seen on The Hub Forums here: gttp://thehub7dnl5nmcz5.onion/index.php?topic=52.0. All credit goes to Jolly Roger who obviously put in a lot of time creating this fantastic guide.

When looking for sites on the Deep Web then just go and check out our mega Deep Web Links list. It is one of the biggest lists of hidden .onion URL’s on the internet.

Tip for Beginners:

Before doing anything on the Dark Web or even learning about it, make sure you are protected with a VPN and Tor. The guide below goes into this, but you should be using a VPN to even read this guide or any other Dark Web related topic.

The Feds are watching everything, so you are better off not letting them know you are even interested in the Dark Web. This site here goes through pretty good VPN’s and they usually have good discounts. https://topvpnsoftware.com
