How to Stay Safe on the Dark Web Whether you're a criminal or a whistleblower, the Dark Web can be a dangerous place. However, there are a few things you can do to keep yourself safe while exploring this dark lane. First, you should use an encrypted email service. There are several on the Dark Web that let you send messages anonymously. Some of these include Proton Mail and ZeroBin. You should also set up an anonymous Bitcoin wallet. This makes it difficult for anyone to track you on the blockchain.
