How to enter the deep web by Android or iPhone

Published 2 days ago2 minute read

We have already explained what it is and how to access the deep web. Basically, the deep web (also called the dark net) is a set of networks that are part of the web but are not indexed by search engines, making their content hidden to a large

Generally, the deep web is associated with illegal content such as drug sales, child pornography, or various other obscure activities, but the network does not only have that type of content. It can be very useful for activists and journalists who need anonymity. On the computer, it can be accessed by the Tor browser, which connects to the network of the same name.

On mobile, there are apps (official and unofficial) that bridge this with the Tor network and make it possible to connect — you don’t need root, jailbreak or any other unofficial modification on your smartphone. Look at this.

On Android, you need to download two apps, both the official Tor project, which created the browser and the Tor network, the most common method for accessing the deep web. These are:

For iPhone, there is no official Tor app because of some system limitations, such as Apple forcing third-party browsers on iOS to use the WebKit navigation engine, the same as Safari and Chrome. Because Tor is Based on Firefox to ensure that navigation is as anonymous as possible, iPhone alternatives are technically less secure.

Tor itself recommends Onion Browser, which tries to implement some features to prevent some security issues—typically sufficient for an ordinary user. At least, because of these limitations, it’s much easier to browse the deep web through the iPhone:

Typically, the first step is to access the Hidden Wiki, which lists some deep web sites.  by clicking this link (it will only work on tor’s network): http://zqktlwi4fecvo6ri.onion/wiki/index.php/Main_Page. There, you will find any type of site that exists in the deep web networks.

The browsing speed should be slower than normal because your internet connects to multiple computers, such as a tunnel, to load the sites, so it depends on the connection speed of many points around the world.
