Whonix is about explaining exactly this. Your own workstation. Torification for anything and no IP/DNS leaks possible. (See security page to see how difficult it is.) The source code is essentially a collection of configuration files. (+ putting them all together unattended + distributing binary images because there are so many configuration steps) https://github.com/adrelanos/Whonix For example just go into the whonix_gateway folder. It contains all configuration files. (Configuration files used on gateway and workstation are in whonix_shared.) If one understood the basic concept, anyone can use any operating system to build anything selfmade... https://sourceforge.net/p/whonix/wiki/Security/#whonix-framework > Is tor matured enough to replace ttdnsd,polipo,pdnsd etc ? Tell me what you need any of these for? ttdnsd? For what do you need it? DNS queries except "A". Show me the use case. Just use Tor's DnsPort. What's wrong with it? polipo? Needed for what? https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/TorifyHOWTO/WebBrowsers Did you read that link? Just use Tor Browser to share the same look as all other Tor Browser users. If you use some speedup configuration (polipo) you look less like others and are therefore less anonymous. pdnsd? Needed for what? Don't cache your DNS requests. Most people don't do it. If you do it, you behave different and web servers might detect that and therefore you're again, less anonymous. _______________________________________________ tor-talk mailing list tor-talk@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
