Whonix is a two-machine virtual setup: a Gateway that forces all traffic through Tor, and a Workstation where you do your work. This prevents IP leaks even if the Workstation is compromised.
Why Choose Whonix?
- IP leak prevention: The Workstation cannot access the Internet without going through the Gateway.
- Persistent environment: Unlike Tails, Whonix can be persistent by nature (since it runs in a VM).
- More flexible: You can install additional software, though caution is needed.
