Excellent video, my friend. You did whonix a lot more justice than I did trying to explain its role in the scheme of things in comments on your last video. Your videos articulate well and are approachable by most anyone, a great asset to the community and a helpful resource. Much appreciated

[cajunphilippine]

This is a good presentation my friend . Good information.

[Nick-rbt]

Thanks. Well done. Keep posting videos.

[phillydee]

Thank you, this is the perfect environment to run Maltego for your OSINT investigations!!

[SamSepiol]

Seems interesting. I'll try it asap. Great video

[морс-фд]

A big thank you for your very detailed tutorial!!! Its very interesting and clear👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Have you considered switching up your anonymity portion and incorporating the new node system setup by the members of The cult of the dead cow called Veilid?

Is whonix better tan tailsOS? you should make a difference video about these two OS's

Hey !Thx for sharing knowledge!

I am always wondering, like we are hiding our IP with all them different techniques, but doesn't our MAC address get leaked ? I mean IP is changged to something else, but what about MAC address ? Can't it be traced as well as an IP ? As I know network cards MAC is unique and it is shared in sent packets at some layer.

Pretty new in this area and a bit confused. If you could shed some light on that, would appreciate it a lot .

Installing Linux on whonix Would this be perfect for anonymously hacking testing?

[notyoursanymore]

What's the difference between this and using kali and proxychains + tor ?

[itsmdud]

do we need to install on a virtual machine or host machine??

[maddmerchant]

Does Tails OS not acomplish this. And from a USB stick?

[johntabaron]

hey, am i the only one who did not get a setup wizard after initial bootup?

[andresmontoya]

Hello bro, when I'm changing the sudo passwd user Its seems wrong... I don't know how to change :(

[sakurazakikasumi]

I mostly preferred tails os because I only comment on websites that allow anonymous comment which doesn't require account.

[claytonpoortenga]

Sounds like a honey pot... I just lobotomized win10

VirtualBox is Microsoft's answer but it is limited crappy software. Whonix isn't that good if used by beginners. Now your privacy is at risk because you put all responsibility at the users end not to do anything stupid. Tor is a huge security risk for newbies so be aware of that.

My personal preference is workstation > pfsense ( squid, etc... ) > local server ( tor, i2p, ... ) > pfsense > internet. Without virfualization because this is bad. If you use hardware you physically enforce your setup and your workstation is offloaded. Need an add blocker? Don't install that on your workstation but on the router. Etc... Balance your load over devices and separate your concerns. Tor is the anonymity, pfsense your privacy and firewall, workstation the browser.

I don't use tor for normal browsing. But when I follow a tor link instead of hitting a wall pfsense detects it and forwards the request to the appropriate local server. Similar setup can be used for I2P server.
