I’m curious if whonix actually provides any value rather than just running tor locally?

Like has there ever been a case when because tor was run locally on someones computer over using whonix for tor that they were compromised?

    Whonix is fine for operating sockpuppet account workflow, as example. Realistically, good luck getting to a TailsOS USB user with a solid opsec.

    I guess since they weren’t caught there’s nothing to report about it so we probably wouldn’t know… so I assume yes. Also Whonix works in perfect combination with QubesOS, so at that level of opsec is fucking hella hard to caught someone, IMO.

      This. When the safety tool/system is so good that you don’t realise if it is working or not. I think a better question would be “whether anyone was compromised while* using it?”

      Edit: a word.
