Frequently Asked Questions

What is a .onion link?
A .onion link is a special address accessible only through the Tor network. These addresses provide access to hidden services that offer a higher level of anonymity and resistance to censorship. .onion addresses consist of 56 random characters followed by .onion.
How do I access .onion sites?
To access .onion sites, you need to use Tor Browser, available as a free download from the official Tor Project website (torproject.org). Once installed, simply copy and paste the .onion address into the Tor Browser address bar.
Is it legal to browse the dark web?
Yes, using Tor and browsing the dark web is perfectly legal in most countries. Tor is a privacy tool used by journalists, activists, and ordinary citizens. Only illegal activities conducted on the dark web are punishable by law, just as they would be on the regular web.
How do you verify .onion links?
Every link on OnionDir is manually and regularly verified. We test accessibility, check site authenticity, and display the date of the last verification. Offline or suspicious links are flagged or removed.
What is the difference between the deep web and the dark web?
The deep web refers to all web content not indexed by conventional search engines (password-protected pages, databases, etc.). The dark web is a small portion of the deep web accessible only through special networks like Tor. All .onion sites are part of the dark web.
Is OnionDir a dark web site?
No, OnionDir is a clear web site that lists and describes .onion links. Our goal is to provide a reliable, up-to-date directory for users who want to explore the Tor network safely.
