Your IP gives your identity. Locking your IP address is difficult because the Internet was not designed for privacy. Whonix solves this problem by forcing all connections

its Dual-VM Architecture

DNS leaks on Whonix are impossible. And even malware with root privileges cannot discover the user’s real IP address. Whonix is fully leak tested

Boot a VM to
Live Mode
is as simple as selecting Live Mode in the boot menu. Alternatively, Debian, Kicksecure, and perhaps other Debian-based hosts can boot their existing host operating system in Live Mode. After the session, all data will be lost.

Linux is very reliable and secure. Its open source and freedom paradigm sets it apart from other OS. That’s why Whonix is based on Kicksecure
which is based on Linux.

Our website offers an alternative version of onion that offers higher security of the connection between the user and the server. This is because onion connections provide an alternative end-to-end encryption that is independent from
wrong TLS certificate authorities
and the mainstream Domain Name System (DNS).

Used by Whonix Tor, the best anonymity networkwhich provides an open and distributed relay network to defend against network surveillance.
Many server hops. Privacy by design. Must know the architecture. Onion-layered encryption. Unlike Virtual Private Networks (VPN), Tor provides anonymity by design and removes trust from the equation.

Decades of research in the security community have led to many best practices. Whonix is based on
Kickssecure
which is a security-hardened Linux distribution that implements a consensus of these reasonable security measures.

Whonix provides additional security hardening measures and user education to provide better protection from
viruses / malware.

AppArmor Profiles restrict the capabilities of commonly used, high-risk applications such as the Tor Browser.

which means: Even we do not have access to IP connection logs!

Virtualizer Friendly. Because Whonix runs on a virtualizer
it provides an abstraction layer
from the host operating system. It hides hardware serial numbers and prevents host file leaks.

Tor Browser is the only serious and actively developed browser designed and recommended for anonymity.
The browser is fully featured because it is based on the modern and popular Mozilla Firefox browser, Visit any destination including modern websites such as YouTube.

In oversimplified terms, Whonix is just a collection of configuration files and scripts. Whonix is not a bare-bones version of Debian; anything possible in “vanilla” Debian GNU/Linux can be replicated in Whonix.
About Whonix

Whonix has over 12 years of success. We have successfully protected our users from
daily trackers
and even from
high level attack
. With the next decade in mind, we’re constantly improving Whonix’s privacy and security.

All that Whonix source code licensed under Approved OSI Licenses. We respect user rights to review, examine, modify, and redistribute Whonix. This improves security and privacy for everyone.

Research
and Implementation Project: Whonix makes modest claims and is wary of overconfidence. Whonix is an actively maintained research project that makes constant progress; not
deficiencies
always hidden from users.

The purpose of
SUID Disabler and Permission Hardener
is to improve system security. This is done by strengthening the isolation of Linux user accounts, enforcing stricter file permission settings, and reducing potential security vulnerabilities by disabling SUID-enabled binaries.
