Dark web - DealWithSniping - 02-17-2019
I'm thinking to visit the dark web to look around but is there any pre cautions I should take before going on there ?

Use a VPN, try using Tails either in a VM or a USB, don't watch any videos that use flash or java, disable javascript and don't download anything. Also, change the slider in the Security Settings to "Safest".
Edit - If you use the "Safest" setting, some images and text might not appear.

do not surf the dark web without a VPN.

And If you're using a laptop, don't forget to tape over It's built-In webcam.
In fact, this should be done regardless of your online habits.

It's one of the first things I did when taking my lappies out of the box.
For the average user who simply navigates to Facebook, Twitter etc, there's no cause for concern.

Could not say it better. VPN or Tor is a must. Also those extra features are much better.
Then You can enjoy some sweet mind altering substances to explore the Universe. I hope that is Your only intention

I leave it untaped. I flip off the camera periodically as well.
