Hello everyone,
These days I am very concerned about the following questions and it seems to fit this topic, so I am not creating a new thread.
Of course always this advantage takes effect:
But for an anonymous hosted VPS or dedicated server doesn’t this diminish the relevance of the above fully?
Also, there is no concern about server security and successful attacks against Tor onion services will not lead to your location or IP address.
Hosting Location Hidden Services - Whonix
What are the relevant advantages of using Whonix if you use an anonymous hosted VPS anyway?
Another point which I would like to bring into the discussion: Today’s architectures follow a layered approach with separated servers for web, application and database.
Is such an approach even possible with Whonix without further ado? I.e. a VPS or dedicated server with Whonix, where Whonix-Workstation acts as a web server. Behind it a non-Whonix application server VPS and behind that a non-Whonix database server VPS. Connections between web server and application server and between application server and database server carried out over virtual LAN of hosting provider.
Taking all this into account, could it not reduce the complexity in such an approach (multiple anonymous third party VPS instances for layered architecture) to setup without Whonix without losing relevant security and anonymity measures or am i missing something?
Thank you very much.
