Whonix is an operating system focused on anonymity, privacy and
security. It’s based on the Tor anonymity network, Debian GNU/Linux and
security by isolation. DNS leaks are impossible, and not even malware
with root privileges can find out the user’s real IP.
Whonix consists of two parts: One solely runs Tor and acts as a gateway,
which we call Whonix-Gateway. The other, which we call
Whonix-Workstation, is on a completely isolated network. Only
connections through Tor are possible.

Users of Whonix 7 and below
There is no upgrade path from Whonix 7 to Whonix 8, sorry. You
have to manually download new Whonix images.

Download Whonix for KVM / Qemu
Entirely untested! This is only useful if you have a developers mindset!
This is the first time .qcow2 images are available (as .tar.gz, qcow2
image must be unpacked):
http://sourceforge.net/projects/whonix/files/current/8/
We have unfinished(!) instructions for KVM:
https://www.whonix.org/wiki/KVM
There are still a few blockers before using Whonix with KVM can be
considered sane:
https://www.whonix.org/wiki/Dev/KVM
Please help out solving them. Whonix also needs a maintainer to
support using Whonix with KVM.

version number.)
