Whonix is a desktop operating system designed for advanced
security and privacy. Whonix mitigates the threat of common
attack vectors while maintaining usability. Online anonymity
is realized via fail-safe, automatic, and desktop-wide use
of the Tor network. A heavily reconfigured Debian base is
run inside multiple virtual machines, providing a
substantial layer of protection from malware and IP address
leaks. Commonly used applications are pre-installed and
safely pre-configured for immediate use. The user is not
jeopardized by installing additional applications or
personalizing the desktop. Whonix is under active
development and is the only operating system designed to be
run inside a VM and paired with Tor.
