What Actually Is The Invisible Web & Where Can You Access It?

Internet is vast, as vast as the universe may be. The exact size of the universe is difficult to determine and there is a reason for that. Internet is not everything you have been using it for. There is so much more to it. While you are enjoying attention on social media websites, shopping your favorite items on the go, or browsing cringeworthy videos on the internet, there exists a world, an underbelly of the Internet, hidden away from the reach of the public. It is called the invisible web.

Invisible web is the part of the internet which is not indexed by the search engines. Since it is not indexed by the search engines, people who don’t have access to it will never even know the existence of it.

But it does exist.

There are websites and webpages with no links leading to them and these webpages store data and information that should be protected from the commoners for security reasons like specialized databases, online banking, etc. These websites are out of reach from search engine crawlers which crawl through millions of webpages to give you the desired results.

The invisible web has a darker site too which is why it is also denoted as the Dark Web or Deep web. Hackers and miscreants use this web for all kinds of shady businesses. You will find all sorts of contraband selling online on the dark web. Cryptocurrency is one of the things that take place on the dark web. This is why it is not accessible to all.

There are no studies but it has been estimated that the Dark web is much bigger than the surface web or the Internet that commoners use. Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Facebook alone store petabytes of data between them. So, you cannot even estimate the mind-boggling numbers we are dealing with right here.

These anonymous or invisible sites are accessed through Tor or The Onion Router which is a series of interconnected nodes that allow you to use Invisible web.

  1. Actually, if they really want to stalk you, clone you, or really drive you out of your damn mind to the point of complete insanity they just figure out your IMEI #s on all of your devices. Sadly it doesn’t seem to matter how many devices you have. If really want to find a way to make it happen. They are going to do everything they can and not stop until they figure it out. If you are someone they are stalking for whatever reason and this has been going on for a while. My best advice to you would be safety first. Find someone who will believe in you. If you can start making sure that you are documenting it all with another digital device that will be very helpful for your case. Because sadly these people are usually pros at deleting all of your information from devices. So in the long run you will be left with nothing. ?
    Also, I to mention once they have those IMEI numbers… It’s not difficult for them to use them on any smart device or appliance you may own in your home… now with some of the new updates all they need is to be close enough to see them if they are not actually in the house with you.. from there, they are able to access enough information to remote mirror the device. After that, they are able to import enough data needed to watch the person and record them. Leaving it all undetected and unsuspected so that the cameras can keep rolling all over the house. Meanwhile recording, harassing, and, losing trust, the health slowly each and every minute because I know that the longer I’m here… you would never suspect are all synced up to these wonderful unsuspecting creeps devices that have been isolating you. Scaring you, causing you major medical illnesses that can never ever be healed, reversed, things that I will actually die from, and They will have access to all of your email addresses and they can become administrators of them making it difficult for you to change your passwords or info on your account. They also can make your life hell by deleting your most important email addresses that are synced up to your billing accounts so that you are unable to pay them. They will also have access to all of your phone calls, contact numbers, text messages, pictures, videos, and social media platforms, which gives them access to listen to all of your phone calls, watch all of your videos, and see all of your pictures. Also deciding if they want to keep what you think is important… because from my own experience… I have lost a lot of very important things that I will never get back thanks to whoever has decided to take over my life. This person has gone as far as speaking up like “SIRI and calling himself PHIL OR PHILLIP” -he has stolen everything from me. He even bought or tried to buy a vehicle in my name about 4 years ago. I can’t remember now. He has access to all of my TVs. I can yell at hell and tell him what I want him to do at this point with the TVs. When I’m absolutely over him controlling it all and ask him to stop or do the opposite of what he is doing. Sometimes he won’t listen to me just because he really wants to make my life hell.. It’s disgusting.
    The creep will hear me talk about something and as soon as I hang up my phone or close the app there will be a message from him about it.. He is always there to make sure I know that in his creepy way, he hasn’t forgotten about me. Like I ever will. He kidnapped me when I was trying to protect my son. Even after that he still stalked me relentlessly. If that wasn’t bad enough when I switched phone carriers hoping that if did all of that and changed my phone number after 20+ years that I would be able to lose this freaking psychopath!! Sadly I was very very wrong!! All of my numbers successfully transferred like they were supposed to… however… no one was able to call me or text me… same went for me!! I was SUPPER PISSED!! I had that SYNC.Me app…. Which saved I had over 3000 phone numbers…. Well, one very sad day in July there was a medical emergency and after that, I was no longer able to log in to my Apple ID, for some reason my face had been shut off, and my watch passcode had been changed!!! But when I was rushed to the hospital my husband kept denying me my phone and my watch and by the time I was finally able to get them they no longer worked. Sadly they were all just fine because I put them into my purse. Which is right before leaving for the hospital. Sadly it doesn’t make any sense to me. .. It had become locked up so badly that the phone had to be reset. Actually, it had to be rest 3 more times after that. Finally, I replaced it last month because it had such a terrible imposture deficiency that I was never going to be able to have a better outcome with it.
    Sadly, my watch still is freaking locked up. I’ve barely been able to use it for 2 months for the whole time I have owned it. Which freaking blows!! They won’t replace it… they are unable to break into, I’ve tried other companies in town and online… and I really just don’t know what to do… I have tried several videos on YOUTUBE also without success…
    I just wanted to share what I have been going through for almost 7 years. I have been confirmed by 3 different companies that I have 2 different people who are cloning, stalking, and mirroring all of my devices. I also want it to be known that in the State of Nebraska, it’s illegal to do so unless I have given my permission. Which I have not done in any capacity. At this point and time. I do not feel safe… I feel like I am isolated from everyone that I used to be friends with and that used to be there for me when ever I needed them. I no longer am able to have relationships with any of the people who have been in my life for over 20 years. I have lost them. If anyone knows how to help me recover my information I will forever be in your debt. Also, this person is doing anything and everything they can to make sure all of my phone calls and text messages to them…
    Between the two of them… I believe it started as this guy named PHIL- whois out of New Jersey, New York, maybe even lives in Nebraska once in a while… then there is another person who lives in California maybe… idk… I wasn’t able to get the exact locations of all of them at the time. Because the first time the were hidden….. and this week when they were acting as my admins that left me with no control… it just looked like they were hovering over Australia. Seriously is not fair for someone to take over your accounts like that. So if someone can help… or knows someone who can please reach out to me.. Because they now have involved my son and are attacking all of his private information and this whole thing just makes me want to disappear. I was in the military and I have no idea if it has anything to do with that. I’m 100% disabled and should have been receiving medical care from Mayo in FLORIDA. Back in 2012. I was out there in 2018 and she told me that it my best interest to stay and start getting medical treatment. Sadly, that didn’t happen. Last year we went back… she said the same thing… she told me that she was able to set up appointments for me to get things rolling. After that appointment, we went back to the hotel, and I asked my husband if he cared if I stayed to start my treatments. At that time he told me no. We were not doing that. It wasn’t going to happen and it wasn’t an option. So without his support, I had no one else. I truly have been alienated, isolated, and abandoned here at home without any way for me to get the help I truly need. Right now I’m on home health care every day because of a stroke that I suffered and during that time I also had a major epileptic seizure that lasted for over 20 minutes triggering my Addison’s which put me into crisis.
    I know that I have gotten way off-topic here and I apologize for it… please no hating comments below if you don’t want to talk about or know how to help me out the medical care. If you know how to help me out with my stalker problems. I will take any advice you have to offer!!
    To everyone who stuck by and read this all. I appreciate you all. I know that it was a lot. Bless your little hearts Please use this phone number to call me if you can figure anything out. I don’t think I will list an email address if I can get by without it. Since I have been having so many problems. So just watch below to see.
