Hello!
I am an absolute beginner here and I could not find an answer here. I indeed checked the forums and FAQs and other websites but somehow, never anything really applied to me.
So my question is:
Can I, should I, may I, use my home internet connection with a device where whonix is installed,
or
should I rather use public and changing internet connections?
I also intent to only use clearnet websites via TOR. I think that works? I would need to have access to clearnet websites.
(I was once a very smart kid with all things PC but now above 30, I find myself too stupid and too insecure for most normal things…)
Another thing is- please forgive me, but I am really not sure here: for newbies like me, and who want to use the surface web for their activities, is whonix better than TAILS (edit: for the described purpose I mean!)? I lack the programming skills, deeper knowledge about the things talked about here and all I basically want is clearnet activity without certain entities getting a hold of my personal information/information about the connections owners,- certain institutions getting way too touchy with things right now where I live. I am not too lazy to use an internet cafes WiFi or anything, but the places with such available connections are scarce where I live, including my limited capacities for town-to-town travel, and my laptops wifi connection also seems wonky. So it’s either a very limited usage outside, like 2 times per month for a short time, or from my home connection, and given the circumstances, I need to be very careful with such.
I hope this wall of text was not too much. My deepest apologies, but I am really insecure on what to do here.
