If you spend a lot of time online, you have a rough idea of \u200b\u200bhow big the internet is. For example, even a simple search like casino online<\/a> will return thousands of results. It is thought that there are approximately 1.88 billion websites on the internet<\/a>, and if you were to visit each of them and spend just one second, you would have to spend 21,759 days, or 59 years, of your life. Well, what would you think if we told you that these websites actually represent a very small part of the internet? Did you know that there are more sites on the Dark Web? Deep Web, Darknet, Dark Web – we\u2019re sure you\u2019ve heard these terms before, but do you know what they really mean? You can find out by reading this article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Surface Web<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This is the name of the network of websites indexed by search engines. In other words, this is the first thing that comes to mind when someone says \u201cInternet.\u201d Any site that you can visit using any browser and is displayed in the results of search engines such as Google is part of the surface web. Surface web only makes up 4% of the total World Wide Web content. (Some sources claim it\u2019s 5%, it\u2019s impossible to give an exact number.) So about 95% of the internet consists of content that you can\u2019t reach or even know existed – the surface web is only a tiny part of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Darknet<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This is the part of the internet that is not indexed by search engines. It is not possible to reach the sites on this network with ordinary browsers. To access the Darknet, it is necessary to use special browsers and tools such as TOR and VPN. These tools ensure that users\u2019 identities remain anonymous. Unlike Surface Web, sites on the Darknet do not record their visitors\u2019 IP addresses and are not concerned with identifying them. Being anonymous is the most important feature of this network; therefore, you need to know the exact address to reach most sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, contrary to popular belief, the Dark Net is not a criminal network. It is possible to find chat rooms, game servers, and incredible libraries on the Darknet. You just have to hide your identity using special tools to access these resources and know what to find and where. It is possible to use the Darknet only by protecting your privacy without getting involved in any illegal work, and even some resources can be accessed only in this way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dark Web<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This is the part of the Darknet used for illegal work. The general rules for Darknet apply here as well: To access Dark Web resources, you must hide your identity using special browsers and tools. However, Dark Web sites are used for illegal activities such as drug sales, assassinations, and gun sales. The thing that is the subject of movies and often confused with the Deep Web or Darknet is actually the Dark Web.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
