Well, it's also been called the 'deep web', which I think is a far better name anyway, plus it plays well into the use of the term 'surface web'. 😁 πŸ™ πŸ’š ✨ πŸ€™

They say that the "deep web" is basically any website (such as password-protected webpages) that cannot be publicly found on the Internet (using any search engine), and that the "dark web" is on the deeper layers of the deep web where special software (such as the "sovereignty-driven" platform apps that you use such as #Qortal) is required to access them. πŸ€”πŸ§˜β€β™‚οΈπŸ€―πŸ€“

That's a pretty good explanation of how the terms relate to each other. I like the Qortal dark web. πŸ˜πŸ™πŸ’šβœ¨πŸ€™

They also say that great care has to be taken when trying to access dark web sites without using their native browser app (which means someone wanting to access #Qortal sites should avoid using any clear web proxy for such sites). πŸ€”πŸ€―πŸ€“

Qortal is a bit different than say Tor or I2P, but it does have its own internal network of resources, and even websites. There are several gateway sites set up so that people that don't run Qortal can access those resources. πŸ˜πŸ™πŸ’šβœ¨πŸ€™

Those "gateway sites" (which can also be called "clearweb proxy sites") can indeed be a compromise between hosting a #Qortal node to access internal websites, and not being able to access those websites at all. πŸ€“ Users of such sites should be careful not to provide sensitive information, as those sites can potentially read all information that pass through them. 🀯

@savvytester said that running a #Qortal node is too expensive for them (at least at present), because it requires a spare computer or a VPS to host 24/7. πŸ’ΈπŸ˜…

The gateway sites are only for those that don't run a Qortal node, and it's obviously better to run one.

Yep, indeed. It does need to stay running 24/7/365. πŸ˜πŸ™πŸ’šβœ¨πŸ€™
