What is Tor?
If it is the first time you are hearing the terms "Tor" or "Tor browser", then please take a few moments to read the interesting explanation about it. It is absolutely crucial for you to understand it as the whole guide is based on that particular knowledge.

The Tor is a browser or rather a specialized browser that not only permits you to browse the general clearnet websites like reddit.com but also the .onion sites (also known as the hidden wiki links). The onion sites are special websites that permit the visitors and the operator of that special website (Tor .onion urls) to stay anonymous. This helps to conceal the identity of one another. The darknet markets or DNMs that you would later use in this guide are the perfect examples for such hidden services.

If you require to post replies to the comments or make posts, then read till the end and follow the instructions accordingly.

Set Security Slider To High

The first and foremost step that you should take every time you start the Tor browser is to set the security slider to high. This disables JavaScript globally and also does some other security enhancements.

When you are using the Tails OS and running Tor on it, you have to do this every time you boot Tails. This is because you can only store bookmarks for your Tor browser and no other Tor browser configuration files.
