Whonix

Whonix is an anonymous operating system that operates as an application, channeling all internet traffic through the Tor anonymity network. It is a powerful tool that enhances online privacy and anonymity, and it is compatible with major operating systems.

For those with a technical inclination, there’s a comprehensive Whonix technical introduction available for reference.

Superior Internet Privacy

Whonix is a robust, free, and open-source desktop operating system (OS) meticulously crafted to provide advanced security and privacy. It is built upon the Tor anonymity network, a security-focused Linux Distribution known as Kicksecure™, GNU/Linux, and adheres to the security-by-isolation principle. Whonix not only shields against common cyber threats but also maintains user-friendliness.

Security Hardened

Whonix implements an extensive security overhaul of the Debian base, known as Kicksecure™ Hardened. This is run within multiple virtual machines (VMs) layered on top of the host OS. This architectural design offers a substantial defense against malware and IP leaks. Applications come pre-installed and configured with secure defaults, minimizing the need for extensive user input.
