Previously I have shared my experience with Tails and Qubes OS. Now Imagine you could keep your current operation system, but add an additional layer of security into this environment.
Whonix is a Debian based Linux OS – however you use it in a Virtual Machine, therefore within Windows, Linux or Mac OS.
Whonix contains of two Virtual Machines preconfigurations:
- The Gateway that connect to the Tor Network
- The Workstation – that force all the traffic through the ‘Gateway’ and therefore through the Tor Network
It is a preconfigured System that comes with a list of security features, that keeps you safe and protected and its free.
Really a great way to keep your privacy protected. I would highly recommend to use on top of this a VPN in your normal OS, that adds another layer of security.
- VPN in Windows, Linux or MacOS
- Whonix and the Gateway via Tor
List of all Security Features, here.
