Well, Tor browser is arguably better for anonymity than stock Firefox. > Security-by-isolation approach provides much better security in general, > because it relies on the small and simple code in the core of the > network tunnel. > > Whonix https://www.whonix.org is a very good solution available on all > BSDs today. For some reason it remains under-appreciated. I totally agree.

I like running the Tor client in pfSense VMs. Or in Raspberry Pi <http://lwcl5doqq2uzjmom.onion/Raspian-wheezy-VPN-Tor-Gateway-Workspace-r0.html>. And then there's Whonix in Qubes <https://www.whonix.org/wiki/Qubes> :) > Yuri -- tor-talk mailing list - tor-talk@lists.torproject.org To unsubscribe or change other settings go to https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
