Unlocking the Dark Web: A Curated .onion Links Directory for Researchers, Journalists & Privacy Enthusiasts
The term “Dark Web” often sparks curiosity — and sometimes fear. While it’s true that the Tor network can be used for shady or illegal activities, it’s also a powerful space for free speech, privacy, whistleblowing, and information sharing — especially in oppressive regimes.
But navigating the dark web safely isn’t easy.
That’s why I built this:
