Vs Tails · Whonix · Qubes
Hide the IP in Whonix. Keep this OS locked.
Unwoke does not route your desktop through Tor. That would break updates and is not Whonix. Anonymity here means: official Whonix VMs when you need Tor, plus a few host leaks we can close without turning off SELinux, Safe Browsing, or NTS.
Not Tails Not host Tor No security cut
If you need to be hard to name
01 · Persistent Tor
Whonix on this box
ujust install-whonix then ujust start-whonix. Work only in Workstation. Same Google account on Trivalent on the host still names you. How-to: Whonix KVM.
02 · Hostile PC
Boot Tails
Hotel laptop, border search, leave no disk. That is a USB OS, not an overlay. Unwoke cannot fake amnesia.
03 · Split lives
Qubes-Whonix
Different computer. Xen, not KVM on Unwoke. Highest stack; you leave this OS.
Host wins we did ship (no Tor)
| Leak | Default | Revert |
|---|---|---|
| DHCP hostname / DUID | Not sent | ujust set-dhcp-hostname on |
| TCP timestamps (clock skew) | Off (Kicksecure-style). Does not disable NTS. | ujust set-anon-net on |
| Local hostname still “fedora” | Unchanged (printers). Opt-in host |
ujust set-anon-hostname on / off |
| MAC on café Wi‑Fi | Leftover stock | ujust toggle-mac-randomization |
| Disk leftovers | Volatile journal, no hibernate | ujust set-disk-traces on |
We did not add host Tor, UTC-by-default, kloak, or a fake machine-id. Those either break security, break the desktop, or make you more unique.
