I am finding a lot of stuff telling me the darkweb is an “overlay network” meaning it is built on top of another network. What? How?

Sincerely,

Most of the internet is sorted out to be easily searchable and reached (eg domain names being words instead of the ip address; or Google finding it). Then you have the rest, the dark web, that chooses to stay harder to access.
