Finally started using Whonix today! It’s really cool, very easy to set up (even for me as a noob) and works really well.

Gonna be using it much more frequently to browse on Tor given that Whonix OS is much more trustworthy than my host OS. Really recommend it!

So fucking cool :perl:

@weltsnake Word of warning, your host OS can still see everything you do in a VM, meaning Whonix is only as private as the OS its running on.

@ThreeBadgersInATrenchcoat fuck really? Would it still be better to use tor on the vm rather than on the host OS?

@weltsnake Whonix is still more secure than browsing on your host OS and can possibly offer an extra layer of privacy from the websites you're visiting, but just don't hold the impression that just because you're using Whonix that means your host OS can't see your activity.
