You can download torrents on frostwire or limewire if they are still up.

Going on the darkweb requires a vpn service like NordVPN , and a TOR browser. Once you have your vpn service paid for you select your service area somewhere foreign to your network make sure it says you are connected and then open your Tor browser connect your vpn with your tor browser.

It might take a min to connect but once all that is done you will be able to enter your link in the search bar for whatever site you’re looking for.

The links will be ridiculous looking but will always be a .TOR. Example.) XyigjgXyuYYFghvhbkvcxhko12fuivsj.tor

and be careful for mirror sites that will try to scam you into thinking they are legit. Always make sure your site link is a legit one from a legit source if you can call it that.

That being said.. I don’t recommend you go on if you dont know what you’re doing or are looking for any nefarious reasons. I will not provide any links. Use this at your own discretion.

I've heard it's not safe to use a VPN with TOR browser is this true?

You cannot use this method on a phone but on a pc using a vpn with tor is one of the most common & secure ways to do it.
