The simplest approach is using Whonix. There are two Linux virtual machines. The gateway VM just runs the Tor process, and the workstation VM runs Tor browser and other apps. The workstation VM has no network connectivity except via Tor, and so malware can't bypass Tor. It's easy enough to run Whonix in Virtualbox on Linux. And you could even use Virtualbox on Windows, although I don't recommend that. Using Whonix in Qubes is more secure, but not so easy. I recommend using Whonix through VPN services, because it hides Tor use from your ISP. It would also protect somewhat against malicious entry guards, and from circuit deanonymization. Better yet is using Tor through nested VPN chains, because that prevents any individual VPN service from linking you and your entry guards. > Thanks in advance for your help. > > > --Conser > -- 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
