The Buyer's Guide

Mandatory security configuration before accessing the darknet.

1. Install Tails OS

Tails is a portable operating system that protects against surveillance and censorship. It forces all outgoing connections through Tor and leaves no trace on your computer.

2. Set Security Level to Safest

In Tor Browser, click the Shield icon > Settings > Security Level > Safest. This disables JavaScript, which is the #1 vector for de-anonymization.

3. PGP Encryption

Never communicate without PGP. See our OpSec page for details.
