What makes the Whonix Architecture unique?

Whonix consists of two VMs: the Whonix-Gateway and the Whonix-Workstation. The former runs Tor processes and acts as a gateway, while the latter runs user applications on a completely isolated network.

This architecture affords several benefits:

> Only Tor connections are permitted.
> Servers can be run, and applications used, anonymously
> DNS leaks are impossible.

> Malware with root privileges cannot discover the real IP address.
> Threats posed by misbehaving applications and user error are minimized.
> Extensive security hardening.
