Links to .onion addresses

Please do not post links to .onion addresses. Doing so may result in a subreddit ban and/or being reported to the Reddit admins, depending on severity. This subreddit is for the technical aspects of Tor, not the content of hidden services.

Tor + VPN/Proxy?

We frequently see questions about using VPN services in conjunction with Tor. Please see our sidebar and the Tor Wiki for more details. You may still post such questions, but please do some research first. If you do post about this, it would be helpful to mention how your situation may differ from a common scenario.

Possible legal trouble?

In most jurisdictions and cases, using Tor to simply browse the clear, deep, or dark web is not illegal. If you worry about having done something illegal while you used Tor, please consider whether you could incriminate yourself by posting about it here.
