Workstation usage: Single activity vs. Multiple things at once

Support
1

Hello there,

from my perspective it looks like here are contrary advises:

  1. “[…] an adversary that externally observes Tor client traffic to a Tor Guard node will have a significantly harder time performing classification if that Tor client is doing multiple things at the same time.”
    /wiki/Tips_on_Remaining_Anonymous#Do_Multiple_Things_at_Once

  2. “It is safest to only use one Whonix-Workstation at a time and for a single activity.”
    /wiki/Multiple_Whonix-Workstation#Safety_Precautions

Is it recommended to use one Whonix-Workstation for browsing (Tor browser) and another one for messaging (Dino IM) simultaneously or should you avoid this?

Could someone please clarify and maybe add practical recommendations and examples if possible?

Wiki page Multiple Whonix-Workstation chapter Safety Precautions has been updated just now to address this issue.

Recommended, if these belong to the same pseudonym.
