What most people use everyday when online is known as the clear web, however there is another version of the world wide web that exists of which not many people know about known as the dark web. Anything done on the clear web is traceable as your IP address leaves a trail, but on the dark web your movements are masked. This allows people to surf about anonymously on the web as well perform other activities while their identity remains hidden. Most web browsers link directly online, however certain programs allow a computer to connect to the web through many other encrypted computers making your IP address untraceable. Whether you want to protect your identity while online or hide from authorities it seems the best way to do so is through the dark web. Because of this it can be said that the world wide web is full of promises and paradoxes.
