Both look simple and easy to handle because of the popular desktop environments they are using. You would already have seen the screenshots given for Whonix and Tails Desktop. Therefore, in terms of setup and usage Tails is easy and beginner-friendly and the same goes for Whonix in Virtualbox or VMware player, but other than that you have to put some efforts. However, in the case of Tails, we cannot use Persistent mode on VirtualBox, nevertheless, if you are using Live USB on a PC or laptop then Persistent mode can be turned ON manually. This means out-of-the-box Whonix supports full persistent mode and whatever you save on it will remain there until you clear it manually. Once the Appliance is imported you will see two virtual machines one is for Gateway and the other Workstation.įor Whonix to run smoothly, your system or virtual machine should have at least 2 GB of RAM and 10 GB of free memory on the hard drive and the CPU must offer the Intel VT-x or AMD-V virtualization functions. Click on the File -> Import Appliance and select the downloaded OVA file of Whonix. Once you have the file simply open VirtualBox on your Linux, macOS, or Windows system.
Here we will talk about its setup in VirtualBox. To install it, we just need to visit its official website, where it is available in the form of Virtual Appliance for VirtualBox, Vmware, Qubes, and KVM. Whereas the other VM is known as Whonix Workstation that hosts the applications with which you work, such as browsers, email programs, or your important software. Alternatively, this can also be connected via a proxy server (instead of a direct Internet connection). To use Whonix, we need two virtual machines, basically two computers, one of which serves as a gateway to the Tor network is known as Whonix Gateway. That means we can install Tails via Windows, macOS, Debian /Ubuntu, or using other Linux such as Redhat, Fedora, and more… Tails installation is pretty much simple and straightforward, just download its ISO file, use some third-party software like BalenaEtcher and flash the ISO file to a USB drive and start using it on any system. The setup and installation of Whonix and Tails are not much difficult, however it depends on what kind of user you are, advance or beginner.
Yes, it can but Persistent mode will not work Yes, even it is available by default in OVA format Some Key feature differences between Whonix and Tails Features
