Whonix is another OS focused on security and privacy. It's open source, and hence free to download and use. It's based on Linux (Debian) and Tor is implemented into it, to force all network connections through Tor (or be blocked). This is done automatically and is virtually system wide. Whonix is the only OS to work this way, so far.
Whonix was designed with the concept of VMs in mind. Desktop applications come pre-installed and are pre-configured with safety in mind. (It's also possible to install custom applications)
Whonix has two parts: the Whonix-Gateway VM and the Whonix-Workstation VM. The first runs Tor processes and acts as a gateway, while the second runs applications on an isolated network. There are several benefits to this design:
- All connections are routed through Tor
- Applications and servers can be run anonymously over the internet...
