As I understand it for the public web we all use, public DNS servers serve to guide browsers to IP addresses associated with domain names. But of course IPs change for anonymity’s sake on the dark web yet “domain names” stay the same.

How does my Tor browser know the correct route to get to the site that I am trying to visit each time and know that it is always accurate and won’t take me to a different site (assuming that the owner hasn’t changed on that site)? How does this work to keep site owners anonymous without exposing their information to anyone?

    He reminds me of a toddler that is actively shitting in their pants while they say "I'm not pooping."

    I just thought he was a cross eyed nimrod.

    Then again I don't follow any politics. As far as I am concerned every elected or appointed government official has the iq of a potato and couldn't fix a hole in the ground.

    The NSA and GCHQ have both run their own TOR nodes and presumably already have an excellent understanding of how it works, so there's bound to be at least one person, if not an entire department, at the FBI who already understands TOR better than most of the people reading this comment.

    TOR was invented by the US military so I'd be really fuckin shocked if the other branches of government/allies weren't acutely aware of how it works and what its strengths and weaknesses are.
