I used Qubes, eventually... It was a real pain finding a machine to run it. I was not a fan of Fedora as a host, then using Debian as the default for everything else. I found Kicksecure and never looked back. Its my daily OS. I use Kicksecure as the host, sometimes live sometimes not and Whonix on Oracle Virtual Box, again sometimes live. Whonix elevates my security/safety to a level I could not achieve by myself, it protects me, even from me! Was this review helpful?

I hope to see this OS to continue to improve over time in its mission to protect those who require this level of security and privacy. Far better than just the standard TBB. Documentation is unmatched. I have used this OS everyday and it's never let me down. I appreciate the security by design. The distro protects users even from themselves. This is not a standard everyday OS but if you're in need of additional online privacy and security then Whonix is no contest. Tails is also good however if an adversary can root tails then its useless however the same for Whonix is not true. Personally id advise the use of KVM over Vbox but both were great!

I love the way the wiki is organised, one can learn a lot about how to properly use a system and how the many security measures work, how they keep the user safe from IP address leaks and other problems. A downside would be that it has relatively high system requirements since it is run in a virtual machine, but you can't eat your cake and have it too. All in all, an easy to use distribution for maintaining your privacy while browsing the internet, highly recommended. Was this review helpful? Yes No See all 10 reader reviews of Whonix...
