    None. Almost all of them contain some illegal content when the rest absolutely contains it.

    You can access clear net adult sites via tor but don’t expect the video to have smooth playback.

    Yeah, I don’t think porn is where TOR or I2P shines. You’ll find a better selection on Pornhub. Or a clearnet image board / Reddit if pictures are your thing. And by the way: Pornhub used to have a TOR mirror: http://pornhubthbh7ap3u.onion/ Seems to be down, though. At least it doesn’t load for me.

            Yeah. If you’re clever you use some TOR browser bundle or something like that to access the Darknet. Not only for security. You also void your anonymity / privacy once you use just any random regular browser.

            The Darknet is a bit of a mixture of people who use it for legitimate purposes, people who tinker around, and some shady people and trolls. So you’d expect some chance of someone trying to use JavaScript against you, or leverage other browser techniques to leak your IP etc… It’s not a frequent thing by any means, but it’s a possibility.

              use some TOR browser bundle or something like that

              First, this was an I2P link not a Tor .onion link. They are different, non-interoperable anonymity protocols.

              Second, using Tor browser directly would be zero layers of sandbox. Running Tor browser inside a VM would be one layer of sandbox.

              someone trying to use JavaScript against you, or leverage other browser techniques to leak your IP

              Ummm… first the whole point of Tor and I2P both is that nobody knows your IP address. Not even the website operator. Not even the darknet node operators, except the entry node you initially connect to (it kind of has to know your IP address for that to work). And that entry node can see only your IP address – it has no idea what sites you connect to from there or what data you transmit.

              Lastly, if you’re taking the trouble to use Tor or I2P in the first place – turn off javascript. Or even better, just move the slider in Tor Browser to ‘Safest’ mode (why that isn’t the default has been the subject of a religious war, one where my side so far has lost, so you do have to do this manually)

                True. I wasn’t sure what people use to access I2P sites.

                first the whole point of Tor and I2P both is that nobody knows your IP address. Not even the website operator.

                Sure. And then they load some resource via the clearnet and get your IP address anyway. Or use WebRTC, or one of the several other methods to squeeze an IP out of a browser.

                Lastly, if you’re taking the trouble to use Tor or I2P in the first place – turn off javascript.

                And now your porn site doesn’t show videos anymore 😁 I have a hunch, this is one of the two reasons why there aren’t any good porn sites around… Despite OP not liking that answer…

                  they load some resource via the clearnet

                  That means going through an exit node, which knows the clearnet address but not your IP address. Again that’s the point of the design.

                  or WebRTC

                  Then you didn’t have ‘Safest’ mode enabled

                  one of the several other methods to squeeze an IP out of a browser

                  1. Those are called bugs and they do happen but the question is who is attacking you. Assuming you are fully up to date, they are burning an 0day to do so.

                  2. That’s why solutions like Tails, Whonix, and Qubes exist. Even if the browser is compromised, those OSes guard you against leakage.

                  Q: What did Snowden use to walk out of NSA with gigabytes of national secrets?

                  A: Tails on a USB stick (hidden in a Rubiks cube)

                  EDIT: Oh yeah. Streaming videos over Tor literally cannot be done without giving up your anonymity. So no those sites won’t work the way you want them to. You can still download MP4s off PornHub and XVideos though. I have… tested this.
