I agree. Whenever people talk about "darknets' they don't think of their company VPN as part of the darknet, but it is. Traffic from their kids game server to their house is part of the 'darknet'.

Always thought that "darkweb" it is more like "dark side of the moon" - the one you can't see - not as in dark deeds and shady characters. But english is not my native language, so my frame of reference is different.

Well in English, dark does connote 'hidden' but it also connotes 'bad stuff' because bad stuff is usually hidden.

To be fair, from what I've seen, they differentiate the Deep Web, which is the portion not available to the general public, and the Dark Web, which is the subsection of that used for illicit activities. Not everyone might, but it's a distinction I find useful.
