What is the Deep Web?

The Deep Web is simply content not searchable via Search Engines and are hard to find unless you know the direct address.

The "Deep Web" you speak of, is a set of such sites only accessible by using TOR to provide anonymity as much as possible. The Deep Web uses TOR to provide a 'not' DNS for IP to Web address translation via something called a .onion which your browser cannot regularly open.

Once on a TOR network, you can access a .onion the same way you would a .com. Once you know of a .onion to visit, though there is a 'deep web' form of google not even a quarter of the sites are indexed on it you can simply visit it and you will be on the "Deep Web".
