Privacy and the Dark Web - Webinar (02/11/2020)

Have you wondered about what exactly the Dark Web is? The term is often associated with the under-belly of the Internet, but it goes beyond that and can provide resources to protect your users' privacy.

Join Brian Pichman as he walks you through the tools that helps provide anonymity and some ways to help mitigate the ease of being tracked.

We will be covering Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) and Tor Browsing, and some other tips and tricks.

Whether you plan to implement new tools at your library or educate your users, this workshop will help you become knowledgeable on the Dark Web.
