Whonix for Privacy & Anonymity

To improve your privacy & anonymity on the internet, you can install the Whonix Template
(/doc/templates/whonix/) on your Qubes machine.

Whonix (https://www.whonix.org) is based on Debian (https://www.debian.org) and Tor

(https://www.torproject.org) and utilizes two VMs, a “gateway” and a “workstation”. Qubes security
architecture makes use of Whonix’s isolation by using the gateway as a ProxyVM to route all network traffic
through Tor, while the workstation is used for making AppVMs.
