Access Facebook Using "Dark Web" Service Tor

Social media giant Facebook has officially made it possible to access their network via “dark web” service, Tor (The Onion Router). The browser service that allows you to anonymously access Facebook and remain “dark” is becoming ever popular amongst those looking to keep location and browsing habits a secret.

While accessing Facebook via Tor was possible prior to the collaboration, the new setup helps encrypt all data so that users are not mistaken for hacked accounts. As the browser helps anonymize users by routing internet traffic to a different location, one of Facebook’s security measures is to flag accounts as being compromised should they be accessed from somewhere unexpected. All communication now remains within Tor’s network and will not spill over into the open internet as it has been known to do before — allowing users to remain off the grid and almost untraceable.

Originally designed by the US Naval Research Laboratory, the service works by way of multi-layer encryption. By sending the user’s data across a circuitous route in an attempt to hide their identity and location, the computer’s data will appear as though coming from the last connection point — wherever that may be in the world.

Head on over here and give the service a try. We would love to read your thoughts and comments in the section below.
