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:

📦 What Is This Repo?

This is a community-driven directory of safe and legal .onion links categorized for easy exploration. Whether you’re a journalist researching censorship, a developer exploring anonymous services, or just a privacy nerd — this repo is your starting point.

🛡️ Why This Matters

The dark web isn’t just about marketplaces or hackers. It’s home to:

  • Whistleblowers risking their lives
  • Activists evading censorship
  • Researchers looking for hidden information
  • Privacy lovers advocating for online freedom

This repo helps highlight those use cases — safely, responsibly, and legally.

Only 4% of the web is public. The rest is hidden — 90% is the Deep Web, and less than 1% is the Dark Web.
