KickassTorrents Enters The Dark Web, Adds Official Tor Address
An anonymous reader writes: KickassTorrents has now added a dark web address to make it easier for users to bypass blockades installed by Internet Service Providers (ISPs). It has announced a new .onion domain through which KickassTorrents users can access their favourite sites on a Tor (The Onion Router) network. "Good news for those who have difficulties accessing KAT due to the site block in their country, now you can always access KAT via this address lsuzvpko6w6hzpnn.onion on a Tor network," announced a member of the KickassTorrents team.
Still, nothing is invisible to your service provider.
Tor traffic isn't "invisible" to your ISP, but it is opaque. The ISP can see that you're running a Tor node, and estimate roughly how much data is being transferred, but not who you're communicating with or what you're saying. The content being transferred over Tor is effectively invisible.
