It’s really not that complicated.

You can buy pretty much anything you can imagine on the darkweb , the hidden part of the deepweb available only via specialized software. There are all sorts of marketplaces where you can look for everything from a hitman to bars of soap. Many of the sites operate much like Amazon or eBay, with product overviews and customer reviews to give you a better idea of what you’re buying and if a seller is trustworthy.

The dark net has become almost synonymous with illicit goods. In fact, online drug markets have only gotten bigger, in both volume and variety, since the fall of Silk Road in 2013, despite countless high-profile busts and scams. Now you can find pretty much anything you’re looking for, even if you’re never really sure who you’re dealing with on the other side.

If you’re hoping to Score drugs or something else and have a high level of patience and tolerance for consumer and legal risk, there are certainly worse ways of doing it. The Daily Dot doesn’t recommend or endorse the purchase of illicit substances, contraband, or any other illegal goods. But if you’re curious how to buy things, in general, from the deep web, this guide will walk you through the basics.

1) DOWNLOAD TOR

Tor isn’t the only way to access the dark net’s hidden services, but it’s certainly the easiest and the best. Tor was originally developed with help from the U.S. Navy as a network of servers that allowed people to anonymously read the internet. Now it’s one of the internet’s strongest privacy tools, used for secure communication and for browsing the web anonymously.

Tor’s browser helps hide your identity by encrypting your traffic and sending through a series of randomly selected relays in the Tor network, so the data traces back to random Tor servers rather than you. Beyond the security benefits, there are some websites you simply can’t reach from a traditional browser.

2. Install Tor Browser

3. Connecting to Tor

4. Search the web

5. Checking your traffic routing

6. Using a new circuit

If you have trouble connecting to a particular site using Tor, it could be because of the route your traffic has taken. Using the menu you accessed in the previous step, you can easily reroute your traffic.

Having clicked the padlock icon, click the New Circuit for this Site button and the page will reload. If you click the padlock icon again, you will see that the traffic route has changed, and you will likely be visiting the current site from a different country.

7. Boosting online security

Even though browsing the regular web with Tor Browser is much safer and more private than with a standard browser, there are steps you can take to increase security even further.

When you are visiting a site, click the shield icon to the right of the address bar and you will see a Security Level popup dialog that probably lets you know that Standard security is in place.

To increase this, click the Change button and then choose either Safer or Safest, keeping in mind that this may affect the functionality of some sites.

2) Buy some Bitcoin

Bitcoin

Bitcoin is the default currency of the dark net. It’s virtually untraceable and can be transferred worldwide almost instantly and with no government oversight. Its value can also swing violently.

If you’re going to buy anything on the dark net, you’ll need to invest in some bitcoins. There are several marketplaces online that you can choose from—and even some Bitcoin ATMs—but the easiest way to get started would be to simply go to Bitcoin.com.

3) Close every open program and open your VPN

If you’re reading this article, should probably be using a VPN your day-to-day life to begin with. A VPN is a virtual private network that hides your physical IP address. While Tor offers great protection, it’s worth spending the extra $5 to further hide your identity.

4) Start up Tor and go to a store

5) Make an account

Make an account and make sure you write down all of the information. Password recovery is very complicated on these sites for understandable reasons. If you’re using your standard email address, you’re doing it wrong. You may need to make a couple of email accounts actually, in case an additional one is necessary for email password recovery.

6) Get shopping

Get shopping. Even just browsing for window shopping reasons can be entertaining. If you find something, you want simply hit purchase. If you have enough Bitcoin in your wallet, you’ll be taken to a confirmation page.

8) Make some tea and wait.

Once your purchase is completed, your package will take anywhere from a week to two to arrive.
