Will fix that.
In that apt-transport-tor stuff, I had also changed one of the weird onions (earth… .onion) to the proper Debian security one? Check that was correct also.
BTW Can Whonix builds etc. borrow any settings from this hardening list?

The compile time hardening stuff has to be implemented by Debian. It’s related to compiled code. Whonix can’t recompile all of Debian. In the few places where Whonix is using compiled code we enable all compile time hardening.
Well looks like I was wrong. Not sure why but the window to add user rule set now drops down when I click on “see more”. Previously this was now showing up.
Updated the page. They were relatively safe edits imo. So pushed to live wiki.

Another big task would be rebooting the FAQ.
The period of when a project is new and lots of people suggesting all kinds of major changes (marry with Tails, why not use OpenBSD) is long over. Most geeks wanting all sorts of obscure things such as secondary DNS are onboarded already.
Moving most if not all of its contents to where these would fit better or even new pages if needed. Some under /Dev
.
Dev/Operating System - Whonix
Post-installation Security Advice
Alternative DNS Resolver - Whonix
Why is Tor Slow?
Tor - Whonix
Whonix ™ Virtualization Platforms
Combining Tunnels with Tor
We could then count questions what the actual FAQ are nowadays are and repopulate the FAQ.
Added video & audio editor and they are cross DEs.
Tor Browser/Advanced Users: Difference between revisions - Whonix
un-template this section for better formatting (& only used on this page?
To answer this question…
On any template page (here: Template:TorBrowser Proxy Configuration - Whonix) upper right gearwheel drop down menu What links here
that page is also used here:
Agree the FAQ is a bit sloppy at present and needs lots of bits being cut and pasted to other pages with a “see here:” link to those relevant sections. Other priorities as I see it:
The first 9 sections up to and including Anonymous Browsing are now in a reasonable, functional, up-to-date state IMO.
Other observations - the text generally looks better when:
Just gives it a more professional feel IMO.
PS I think the Tor devs hiding away NoScript from taskbar is a mistake. Better to have visual confirmation and I have seen attacks in the wild that enable it automatically - you wouldn’t know if it was tucked away… which reminds me that moving NoScript icon into taskbar is probably fingerprintable(?).
We can even try without “see here”. For example I doubt anyone is going to miss Whonix ™ Source Code Introduction which was never a FAQ to being with. We can add the “see here” when things actually become FAQ. The only way I see to clean sweep the FAQ.
Sorry, I am kinda overworked with stuff like server maintenance. Very invisible but also very important. So this won’t happen.
For that mass search replace could be used.
See you mostly fixed it already. +1
No problem. See you’re busy. Seeing this one still:
Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module ‘Module:Namespace detect/data’ not found.
On lovely mboxes here and there still e.g. Email page.
The rest is generally looking much better with upgrades. No doubt various security fixes too.
Could you please add to documentation and elsewhere where you see fit?
Frequently Asked Questions - Whonix ™ FAQ is done.
Only What is Clearnet?
still looking for a new home.
Anyone come up with better ideas for naming Tor Browser without Tor. Almost finished writing Qubes doc enhancement. It would be good to at least append something to the name.
Tor Browser without Tor (Security focused clearnet browser)
Tor Browser without Tor (Hardened clearnet browser )
Thanks for doing this, a refresh is a good idea. A scientific approach to repopulation might be: If forum comments on a solitary thread related to a reasonable FAQ issue >= 25 (30?) and comments are not just ignorant trolling (or related to existing entries), then seriously consider a new entry.
Doesn’t have to be war and peace. Some distro FAQ entries are a few lines and to the point. Otherwise the FAQ will become obese in size again later on.
Tails FAQ can be an inspriation - brief, pretty and relevant.
Tails - Frequently asked questions
Hi 0brand,
Thanks for your work on this. I agree that “…without Tor” thing doesn’t look good.
I like the naming ideas. The only issue with “clearnet browser” might be the fact Tor Browser is not evident in the title i.e. some might confuse with another browser (?) when skimming the ToC.
How about “Clearnet Tor Browser”?
I was thinking of something along the lines of https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/#privacy-guides
Specifically, the subheading “Reducing the fingerprint of the text-based web browser w3m”. The title gives that name of the app and a little information on the purpose of the tutorial. We could could do something similar with Tor Browser without Tor? Meaning "Tor Browser without Tor…something…something"
Would that work? Any ideas?
without Tor
sounds bad indeed. Sounds like something is missing. I’d drop the whole part before the parentheses, drop the parentheses.
Issue is “clearnet” is a not well defined term to begin with and unpopular outside the Tor sphere.

Ideas:
Bonus point if we find an acronym which is still unused on the internet (which may be challenging).
What about creating a Clearnet Template and adding where needed.
For starters an entry could be added…
Have to brainstorm while Im finishing up.
I’m a bit late but something like SecBrowser has a nice ring to it.
A post was merged into an existing topic: TODO research and document - How to use Tor Browser for security not anonymity? How to use TBB using clearnet?
