In this video we will explain the difference between the deep web and the dark web. While the two concepts overlap, they are by no means the same. The deep web we encounter daily: most of our emails, social media accounts, and registered services are part of it. It is all the web content not indexed by search engines or hidden behind paywalls or registrations.

The dark web is part of the deep web, but goes even deeper. It is the small section of the deep web consisting of websites, which hide their IP addresses from the internet and require special tools to access them. Almost all dark web traffic is encrypted.

So how to access the deep web and dark web? Well, you can access the deep web with your regular browser. You will most likely just have to login to a website. However, you need special tools, such as the Tor browser to access dark web, since regular browsers can’t access it. It is a wild place where you might not only encounter criminal activity, but also contract malware.

If you use the dark web for privacy, a premium VPN service like NordVPN is a safer and more efficient way to protect yourself. NordVPN has the Onion Over VPN function, so it has all the advantages of the Tor router, but also offers the extra security of a VPN tunnel, giving you both online privacy and internet security.

About NordVPN

NordVPN is part of Nord Security, an online security company that aims to provide users with all the necessary online security tools. NordVPN is the world’s leading VPN provider protecting millions of internet users every day. We employ next-generation tech solutions to make sure our users enjoy online safety with peace of mind.

What is a VPN and how does it work?
A virtual private network (VPN) encrypts online traffic and enhances privacy by changing the IP address and virtual location. It does so by routing all your internet traffic through a remote server. NordVPN offers over 5,200+ servers in 60 countries. It’s especially important to have VPN protection when you connect to public Wi-Fi. Public hotspots are inherently unsafe — cybercriminals can easily compromise them or set up fake hotspots to lure unsuspecting victims. You should always use NordVPN before connecting to public Wi-Fi.

NordVPN is available on every major platform. You can use NordVPN on your laptop (Windows, macOS apps) or download it on your phone (Android, iOS apps). There’s also a NordVPN app for Android TV and Linux, while the lightweight extensions for Chrome and Firefox can secure your browsing in an instant.

For old websites with certain media like photos or videos that are not around anymore and can’t even be found on internet archive, will thier media such as photos, videos or audio clips can only be found on deep or dark web?
