# Privacy and security
2+
3+
DeWeb offers a decentralized way to host and access websites, putting control into users' hands. However, the level of privacy and security depends on how you choose to access DeWeb.
4+
Below, we’ll detail the available methods, their benefits, and their risks.
5+
6+
## 1. Accessing DeWeb Through a Local Node and Local Provider
7+
Running both a local node and a local provider is the most secure and private way to access DeWeb.
8+
_Benefit:_
9+
* Full Privacy: No third parties are involved, so your browsing activity is completely private.
10+
* Data Integrity: Content is fetched directly from the blockchain, ensuring it hasn’t been altered.
11+
_Risks:_
12+
* Malicious websites can still harm you. For example:
13+
* JavaScript Backdoors: A site might call external servers, revealing your IP address.
14+
* Phishing: Fake sites could trick you into sharing sensitive information.
15+
* Wallet Exploits: A malicious site may try to get you to approve unauthorized transactions.
16+
17+
## 2. Accessing DeWeb Through a Local Provider Connected to a Third-Party Node
18+
If running a local node isn’t an option, using a local provider with a third-party node offers a middle ground.
19+
_Benefits:_
20+
* Improved Setup Simplicity: You don’t need to manage a full node, but your local provider still processes content locally, adding a layer of security.
21+
_Risks:_
22+
* Privacy Concerns: The third-party node can see the sites you access and associate them with your IP address.
23+
* Tampering Risk: A malicious node could modify the data before sending it to your local provider.
24+
* Site-Based Risks: Any compromised website can exploit your device, just as in Option 1.
25+
26+
## 3. Accessing DeWeb Through a Third-Party Provider
27+
For maximum convenience, you can use a third-party provider that retrieves and delivers content directly to your browser.
28+
_Benefits:_
29+
* Ease of Use: No technical setup is needed. You can access DeWeb directly in your browser.
30+
Risks:
31+
* Visibility: The provider can track your browsing activity and associate it with your IP address.
32+
* Content Manipulation: The provider could modify website data, injecting malicious code or redirecting you to fake sites.
33+
* Site-Based Risks: The same risks from visiting malicious sites apply here as in Options 1 and 2.
34+
35+
## Best Practices for Safe Browsing on DeWeb
36+
1. Verify Websites: Only visit trusted websites with verified Massa Name Service (MNS) domains.
37+
2. Review Transactions: Carefully check every transaction before signing it with your wallet.
38+
3. Stay Updated: Follow official Massa channels for news on registry updates and decentralized tools.
39+
4. Understand Immutability: Proposals are underway to make uploaded content immutable, reducing risks of unauthorized changes.
40+
41+
## Looking Ahead
42+
DeWeb is continuously evolving to improve privacy, security, and ease of use.
43+
Current registries are temporary solutions, and a fully decentralized registry system is in development to further enhance the experience.
44+
Also, a browser plugin will be developped to validate website integritity end-to-end which should solve supply chain attack issues when a third party node or provider is used, but not censorship and privacy. So we really recommend you to run a node and a local provider.
45+
46+
47+
Whether you prioritize privacy, security, or simplicity, DeWeb gives you the tools to browse the decentralized web in a way that suits your needs.
