Tor is associated with a lot of illegal activity.

There are legitimate uses for Tor and onion services on the dark web though.

To get around this sort of blocking or tracking, you could use a VPN.

We recommend Surfshark, NordVPN, ProtonVPN, or Windscribe.

Surfsharkis one of the cheapest VPNs on the market starting at only $1.99 a month.

NordVPN security is top-notch and includes a no-log policy.

It also offers an Onion-over-VPN service that can connect you through the Tor connection.

ProtonVPNis run by a Swiss privacy organisation, that offers a high level of security and privacy.

A throttled but unlimited free tier is available and paid plans start from $3.29 a month.

For anyone wanting to enter the dark web without paying any extra, Windscribe is a solid choice.
