Today, however, it has exponentially expanded, almost beyond measure and is used for a wide variety of purposes by the military, journalists, law enforcement officers, activists, and really just anyone seeking online privacy and anonymity. Navy in mind, for the sole purpose of protecting government communications. It was originally developed with the U.S. Tor was originally designed, implemented, and deployed as an anonymous routing project for the U.S. It is analogous to clearnet, some of it is searchable, some of it isn’t. Private peer-to-peer networks (say, a direct connection from your computer to your friends) are also termed Darknet. This contains anonymizing networks such as Tor, freenet and i2p. Darknet: Darknet is that part of the internet that can only be accessed by special software.The bits of the internet (Tor and non-Tor) that a search engine cannot index are collectively called Deep Web. Deep Web: The opposite of Surface Web.Note that we still access it using clearnet, it’s just not available to search engines. But the link that opens up the Gmail inbox isn’t, so we don’t see everyone’s private emails here.
The front page of is indexable so we can search for it.Neither is your online banking page or any content that requires authentication or is hidden behind a paywall. When you search for something on Google, you don’t see other people’s private emails in there, do you? Those aren’t search engine indexable. Search Engines can index all of Surface Web but not all of Clearnet. Surface Web: This is nearly the same thing as clearnet with one major difference.It’s transparent, hence the term clearnet. In clearnet, any website you visit knows your IP address and you reach the website in the first place by using it’s IP address (URL). This is what people think of as the ‘normal’ internet, the traditional world wide web. Clearnet: Clearnet refers to the unencrypted, unsecure non-Tor internet.Let’s talk about Tor (The Onion Routing Project), a secure anonymizing network that aims to offer privacy, and hence protection, to anyone who needs it for any reason.
