A closer look at online privacy: new Tor tutorials

At Tor, we're always looking for ways to empower more people to access the unrestricted internet and defend against #surveillance and censorship with our digital tools. To achieve this goal, we've taken significant steps to ensure that our tools are #user-friendly and accessible to a wide audience. That includes localization of our offering into as many languages as possible.

As part of a recently completed project, we've made #Tor #Browser, Tor circumvention tools, Tor documentation and training materials, and #OnionShare available in Arabic, Chinese, and Swahili. Additionally, we've developed short, localized, and easy-to-digest explainer videos that guide users on how to access the Tor network, bypass #censorship, and share files #securely and #anonymously.

Think using Tor is difficult? Think again!

How to host your own website, or a secure chat service, on the Dark Web with open source OnionShare

I last covered OnionShare I see in 2020 and 2021. Not much has changed as they seem to offer the same services, but this a good “how to” video if you want to set up something like this at home.

I’d recommend you do it on a Raspberry Pi just to keep it fully separated from your desktop PC. Also, a Pi can run 24/7 which is more useful.

OnionShare is going to provide a dark web Tor onion address that you can share for others to find your service. But both your and their IP address won’t be known to the other party (in fact this may be a better way to share a website from home than with a normal https website).

OnionShare can host a website anonymously, it can provide secure file sharing, and also private chat communications (especially useful for activists, journalists, and others who need to protect their communications). You’ll notice two things from an onion address: Firstly, there is no https (with an s) as it uses a different secure protocol, and secondly it’s a very long random address (which explains why sites are more difficult to find on the dark web, and why many links are dead).

What if someone would host a forum on a .onion where anyone could share their #OnionShare links to movies and music?

Disney, Netflix and Amazon are doing it wrong, so at some point there must be an evolution or an emancipation?
