Whonix Gateway + Whonix Workstation in VirtualBox
Probably not many people know that the internet we know has its second bottom. These are pages hidden in the TOR network. There you will find everything from pornography, through offers of selling illegal things and substances to offers of prohibited services.
If you want to maintain almost full anonymity on the Internet and be able to browse the TOR network, I describes below the software solution.
The mere use of the Tor network through reading is legal outside of watching some forms of pornography. Because pages containing it may save illegal content, e.g. images and movies, to our computer’s hard drive, and possession of this type of content is punishable by law in most countries. Therefore, to use the TOR network safely, a regular Vidalia Windows browser is not enough for us.
To anonymize our connection with TOR network we will need the Whonix operating system consisting of the Whorix Gateway (Tor gate) and the system on which we will work called Whonix Workstation.
The images of whonix operating systems can be downloaded from the internet but we will not install them on the disk of our computer, but we will run them in a free virtual machine VirtualBox.
Downloading and running the entire system is completely free and I present step by step how to do it.
Necessary steps:
- Download and install VirtualBox on our Windows operating system (here)
- Downloading Whonix Gateway and Workstation with images for VirtualBox. (here).
It’s important to choose version with graphical environment XFCE. - Import of Whonix virtual machines to VirtualBox
- Launching Whonix Gateway
- Launching Whonix Workstation
