Facebook is now accessible via the Tor network to remain anonymous to access the social network. Therefore, Facebook launched its address .onion on the Tor network. Remember, Tor allows to browse the Internet without sharing your IP address and physical location with a layer of encryption in addition to exchange client / server. ( For more information read this article ) .
Thus, a special address used to access Facebook, when you are connected to the Tor network:
https: //facebookcorewwwi.onion
This address works only when you are connected to the Tor network, an address delivered specifically for this purpose. A software engineer at Facebook, Alec Muffett, said: "The address in .onion Facebook allows access to Facebook without losing Tor cryptographic protections provided by the Tor network."
This same engineer said it had added a security certificate, the latter to ensure more an SSL connection, but also to ensure that the user is directed to the right website.
Facebook has kept his word, since 2013, the company announced to want to find a solution for working with Tor.
