[Whonix-devel] Whonix Anonymous Operating System Version 10 Released!

Mon Apr 27 14:38:56 CEST 2015

Whonix is an operating system focused on anonymity, privacy and security. It's based on the Tor anonymity network, Debian GNU/Linux and security by isolation. DNS leaks are impossible, and not even malware with root privileges can find out the user's real IP.
Whonix consists of two parts: One solely runs Tor and acts as a gateway, which we call Whonix-Gateway. The other, which we call Whonix-Workstation, is on a completely isolated network. Only connections through Tor are possible.

Wheezy vs Jessie

Whonix 10 is still based on Debian Wheezy. Work on Whonix 11, which will be based on Debian Jessie has already begun. Help welcome!
