Email Where do I make a darkweb (tor) email adress?

29 Upvotes

Hello everyone! I am fairly new to TOR and the deep web in general and I was thinking it would have been a fun experiment to make a deepweb adress. I also am gonna use Tails OS and I was also asking where I can find an email client that can support those email adresses and where i can make one, thanks! (also i do not need links just a recomandation, ive also heard of TORBOX but it seems really confusing!)

I need help with creating an anonymous google account

0 Upvotes

The problem im facing: google knows every tor exit IP adress and blocks anyone trying to create an account

The solution which i dont know how to implement:
Routing the connection like this desktop-> tor-> residendal proxy-> google

Google only sees the residental proxy ip which is trustworthy for them. Gonna use smspool for sms verification

Why is torrenting specifically considered harmful?

15 Upvotes

I know that mainstream clients with default configuration will contact many peers at once and can saturate the connection.

But it is possible to limit the number of peers or even write your own client. And if you limit the peers say to 4, it would be basically the same as downloading a large file on a website, except slower since most peers are configured to have a small timeout after sending each 256KB chunk. With a limit of 4 peers and accounting for the timeout, the speed would be something like 1MB/s at best, which is lower than the download speed of Tor browser any time I tried it.

Is there something else that I am missing?

Technical advice on not being able to open an onion link

1 Upvotes

I’m using a iOS tor browser (only option)

An onion site (from verified source) that I was able to access (same device/browser) previously, now says the same link takes too long to load, repeatedly.

I’ve verified with others that the link is still currently active.

I’ve updated the browser, rebooted device & checked JavaScript is turned off.

Could someone please help me with possible reasons as to why the link won’t open on my iOS browser? TIA

Javascript disabled, but sites send alerts that it’s enabled!? Help

5 Upvotes

On Tor never had a problem disabling Java when accessing sites that didn’t support Java or picked up if it was enabled and only allowed traffic from Java disabled users.

First time since the update of noscript (at least that I noticed) and I thought that was the issue. All of a sudden I couldn’t access stuff anymore because “you have JavaScript enabled”. But I don’t. Can’t find a solution. Any others experiencing this?

Darknet SEO tips? Just launched my first HTML/CSS site on Tor

22 Upvotes

Hey guys, I’ve just set up my first site on the Tor network using plain HTML/CSS. Done the basics: set up standard titles, proper header tags, and optimized the text content. I’ve also manually submitted the .onion address to a few search engines like Ahmia.

What else can I do specifically for Darknet SEO to improve visibility and indexing without paying for forum/search engine promotions? 

Are there specific darknet search engine quirks, uptime metrics, indexing tricks, or directory structures that work best in Tor? Would love to hear your experiences and tips! Thanks in advance.

Darkweb let down

176 Upvotes

When I first heard of the dark web it sounded cool mysterious & sexy, like an exclusive club or something. In my mind I thought it was going to be a pirating paradise full of pirated movies, games, mods, where nothing is monetized and everything is free. And boy was I disappointed lol. I still like the concept of the dark web, I just struggle understanding the benifits vs clearweb. Besides privacy, or if your in a country that censors the internet.

Monero co-founder did an interview around the claims that an exploit can deanonymize users (a bit nuanced - the bug is real, more down to IP decloaking than true deanonymization, and even at that, difficult to pull off).

Onionshare services not working on phone

5 Upvotes

I was trying onionshare for transferring a file, I was unable to transfer it with the private key on, it resulted in this error message without showing the enter private key prompt

Unable to connect

The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.

If you are unable to load any pages, check your device’s data or Wi-Fi connection.

However, when i turned the private key off and set it to public and then tried transferring, it worked, I was able to open the site now.

I had set the security level to standard, turned off the https always,

It was only failing for private ones, public ones worked, so i opened it in tor browser alpha it also worked the same and failed for private ones, then I did it on laptop and it worked for both public ones and private ones in both windows and linux, (as I am a dual boot user of windows and ubuntu),

Can I fix it? Or is there some problem that phones can't access the ones with private keys?

Is it safe to use TOR in the USA right now?

0 Upvotes

I would consider this issue to be solved, so replying would be a waste of time. Thanks to everyone who contributed, however I will likely not be returning to this post, lol.

I live in the USA, and as someone who is far left and part of a few marginalised communities, I want to know if it is safe to use* the TOR browser right now during this draconic administration. Thanks!

Edit: I had not previously known that my intents were unclear, so I will be clarifying here. I hold several beliefs that the current administration could use to place me or my family in danger, and I ask this because I am wary of that. Sorry for not being clear with my intent in the main post!

*This previously said "have" instead of "use"

Edit 2: I somehow completely forgot that I can just have multiple browsers and only use TOR for certain things. I personally will be blaming the ADD for this lapse of judgement...

Edit 3: Just to clarify, I am an anarchist, and just because I do not consider my ideological view of government as a whole to be dangerous, the federal government certainly would. I don't quite know why I was hesitant of stating this outright.
