Normally, you should have installed Windows Pro in this case and the BitLocker setup is quite straightforward.
Only save the recovery key to an external encrypted drive. To bypass this, print the recovery key using the Microsoft Print to PDF printer and save the key within the Documents folder. Delete that file later. Encryption should now be started in the background you can check by clicking the Bitlocker icon on the lower right side of the taskbar. Unfortunately, this is not enough. With this setup, your Bitlocker key can just be stored as-is in the TPM chip of your computer.
To mitigate this, we will have to enable a few more options as per the recommendations of Microsoft :. Run manage-bde -protectors -delete c: this will delete current protection: the recovery key we will not need. Again, as explained earlier. Instead, you should Shut down or hibernate. You should therefore switch your laptop from sleeping to hibernating when closing the lid or when your laptop goes to sleep.
Note that you cannot enable hibernation if you previously enabled RAM encryption within Veracrypt. The reason is that Hibernation will actually shut down your laptop completely and clean the memory.
Sleep on the other hand will leave the memory powered on including your decryption key and could leave your laptop vulnerable to cold-boot attacks. You could be compelled by an adversary to reveal your password and all your secrets and will have no plausible deniability. Route B: Simple encryption of your current OS with later use of plausible deniability on files themselves:. As you can see, Route C only offers two privacy advantages over the others, and it will only be of use against a soft lawful adversary.
Always be sure to check for new versions of Veracrypt frequently to ensure you benefit from the latest patches. Especially check this before applying large Windows updates that might break the Veracrypt bootloader and send you into a boot loop. So, make sure you check when doing the test boot what keyboard layout your BIOS is using. You do not have to have an HDD for this method, and you do not need to disable Trim on this route.
Trim leaks will only be of use to forensics in detecting the presence of a Hidden Volume but will not be of much use otherwise. This route is rather straightforward and will just encrypt your current Operating System in place without losing any data. Be sure to read all the texts Veracrypt is showing you, so you have a full understanding of what is going on. Here are the steps:. Enter a strong passphrase longer the better, remember Appendix A2: Guidelines for passwords and passphrases.
To rescue disk or not rescue disk, well that is up to you. I recommend making one just in case , just make sure to store it outside your encrypted drive USB key for instance or wait and see the end of this guide for guidance on safe backups. This rescue disk will not store your passphrase and you will still need it to use it.
If you have sensitive data on an SSD, Trim alone should take care of it but I would recommend one pass random data just to be sure. Test your setup. Veracrypt will now reboot your system to test the bootloader before encryption.
This test must pass for encryption to go forward. After your computer rebooted and the test is passed. You will be prompted by Veracrypt to start the encryption process. There will be another section on creating encrypted file containers with Plausible Deniability on Windows. This is only recommended on an HDD drive. This is not recommended on an SSD drive.
Therefore, this route will recommend and guide you through a full clean installation that will wipe everything on your laptop. As you can see this process requires you to have two partitions on your hard drive from the start. Encrypt your second partition the outer volume that will look like an empty unformatted disk from the decoy OS.
Create a hidden volume within the outer volume of that second partition. This is where the hidden OS will reside. This means that your current Windows 10 will become the hidden Windows 10 and that you will need to reinstall a fresh decoy Windows 10 OS. Also as mentioned earlier, disabling Trim will reduce the lifetime of your SSD drive and will significantly impact its performance over time your laptop will become slower and slower over several months of use until it becomes almost unusable, you will then have to clean the drive and re-install everything.
But you must do it to prevent data leaks that could allow forensics to defeat your plausible deniability The only way around this at the moment is to have a laptop with a classic HDD drive instead. Do not connect this OS to your known Wi-Fi. You should download the Veracrypt installer from a different computer and copy the installer here using a USB key.
Use a strong passphrase remember Appendix A2: Guidelines for passwords and passphrases. At this stage, you should copy decoy data onto the outer volume. In case you need to reveal a password to this Volume. Remember you must leave enough space for the Hidden OS which will be the same size as the first partition you created during installation.
Use a strong passphrase for the Hidden Volume obviously a different one than the one for the Outer Volume. Veracrypt will now restart and Clone the Windows where you started this process into the Hidden Volume.
This Windows will become your Hidden OS. Veracrypt will inform you that the Hidden System is now installed and then prompt you to wipe the Original OS the one you installed previously with the USB key.
See Appendix A: Windows Installation and proceed with installing Windows 10 Home again do not install a different version and stick with Home. Pre-Test your setup. You are mounting it as read-only now because if you were to write data on it, you could override content from your Hidden OS. Before going to the next step, you should learn the way to mount your Outer Volume safely for writing content on it.
Basically, you are going to mount your Outer Volume while also providing the Hidden Volume passphrase within the Mount Options to protect the Hidden Volume from being overwritten. Veracrypt will then allow you to write data to the Outer volume without risking overwriting any data on the Hidden Volume:. This operation will not actually mount the Hidden Volume and should prevent the creation of any forensic evidence that could lead to the discovery of the hidden OS.
However, while you are performing this operation, both passwords will be stored in your RAM and therefore you could still be susceptible to a Cold-Boot Attack. To mitigate this, be sure to have the option to encrypt your RAM too as instructed before.
We must make the Decoy OS as plausible as possible. We also want your adversary to think you are not that smart. Therefore, it is important to voluntarily leave some forensic evidence of your Decoy Content within your Decoy OS. This evidence will let forensic examiners see that you mounted your Outer Volume frequently to access its content. Be sure to keep a history of those. Remember that you will need valid excuses for this plausible deniability scenario to work:.
You are using Veracrypt because you are using Windows 10 Home which does not feature Bitlocker but still wanted Privacy. You have two Partitions because you wanted to separate the System and the Data for easy organization and because some Geek friend told you this was better for performance. You have used a weak password for easy convenient booting on the System and a Strong long passphrase on the Outer Volume because you were too lazy to type a strong passphrase at each boot.
You encrypted the second Partition with a different password than the System because you do not want anyone in your entourage to see your stuff. And so, you did not want that data available to anyone. If you did this, it would create forensics evidence of the Hidden Volume within the Decoy OS that could jeopardize your attempt at plausible deniability.
If you did this anyway intentionally or by mistake from the Decoy OS, there are ways to erase forensics evidence that will be explained later at the end of this guide.
You should always mount it as read-only. The Hidden OS is only meant to protect you from a soft adversary that could gain access to your laptop and compel you to reveal your password. Be careful of any tampering with your laptop. Evil-Maid Attacks can reveal your hidden OS. This step and the following steps should be done from within the Host OS. In this route, we will make extensive use of the free Oracle Virtualbox software.
Even if your VM is compromised by malware, this malware should not be able to the VM and compromise your actual laptop. It will allow us to force all the network traffic from your client VM to run through another Gateway VM that will direct torify all the traffic towards the Tor Network.
Your VM will lose its network connectivity completely and go offline if the other VM loses its connection to the Tor Network. With this solution, all your network goes through Tor, and it should be sufficient to guarantee your anonymity in most cases.
To mitigate this, you might have to consider the next option: VPN over Tor but consider some risks associated with it explained in the next section.
This solution can bring some benefits in some specific cases vs using Tor only where accessing the destination service would be impossible from a Tor Exit node.
If an adversary somehow manages to compromise the Tor network too, they will only reveal the IP of a random public Wi-Fi that is not tied to your identity. If an adversary somehow compromises your VM OS with malware or an exploit for instance , they will be trapped within the internal Network of Whonix and should be unable to reveal the IP of the public Wi-Fi. This solution however has one main drawback to consider: Interference with Tor Stream Isolation Stream isolation is a mitigation technique used to prevent some correlation attacks by having different Tor Circuits for each application.
Here is an illustration to show what stream isolation is:. When you do not mind using a shared Tor circuit for various services.
For instance, when using various authenticated services. If your goal however is to use the same identity at each session on the same authenticated services, the value of Stream isolation is lessened as you can be correlated through other means. You should also know that Stream Isolation is not necessarily configured by default on Whonix Workstation.
It is only pre-configured for some applications including Tor Browser. Also, note that Stream Isolation does not necessarily change all the nodes in your Tor circuit. It can sometimes only change one or two. In many cases, Stream Isolation for instance within the Tor Browser will only change the relay middle node and the exit node while keeping the same guard entry node. Well, I would not necessarily it:. We do not trust them. I prefer a situation where your VPN provider does not know who you are.
It does not add much in terms of anonymity. It does not help in terms of convenience. See Appendix X: Using Tor bridges in hostile environments. This will of course have a significant performance impact and might be quite slow, but Tor is necessary somewhere for achieving reasonable anonymity. Achieving this technically is easy within this route, you need two separate anonymous VPN accounts and must connect to the first VPN from the Host OS and follow the route. Or just because you can and so why not.
If you can use VPNs then you should be able to add a Tor layer over it. One of the VPN providers will know your real origin IP even if it is in a safe public space and even if you add one over it, the second one will still know you were using that other first VPN service. This will only slightly delay your de-anonymization. Yes, it is an added layer … but it is a persistent centralized added layer, and you can be de-anonymized over time. This is just chaining 3 ISPs that are all subject to lawful requests.
In the context of this guide, Tor is required somewhere to achieve reasonable and safe anonymity and you should use it if you can.
If you cannot use VPN nor Tor where you are, you probably are in a very hostile environment where surveillance and control are extremely high. Just do not, it is not worth it and too risky IMHO. You can be de-anonymized almost instantly by any motivated adversary that could get to your physical location in a matter of minutes.
In addition, using Tor where you are could put you in trouble just for that. But Tor is still the best solution for anonymity and must be somewhere for anonymity.
It might be a bit less secure against correlation attacks due to breaking Tor Stream isolation but provides much better convenience in accessing online resources than just using Tor. If your intent however is just to browse random services anonymously without creating specific shared identities, using tor friendly services; or if you do not want to accept that trade-off in the earlier option. If both Tor and VPN access are impossible or dangerous then you have no choice but to rely on Public wi-fi safely.
This route will use Virtualization and Whonix as part of the anonymization process. Whonix is a Linux distribution composed of two Virtual Machines:. The Whonix Gateway this VM will establish a connection to the Tor network and route all the network traffic from the Workstation through the Tor network. You will be able to decide which flavor to use based on my recommendations.
I recommend the second one as explained before. Later, you will create and run several Virtual Machines within Virtualbox for your sensitive activities. If for any reason later you want to go back to that state, you can restore that snapshot at any moment. Meaning that you will be able to erase all the traces of your activities within a VM by restoring a Snapshot to an earlier state.
Forensics studies have shown the ability to recover data from a reverted VM Fortunately, there will be ways to remove those traces after the deletion or reverting to an earlier snapshot. Such techniques will be discussed in the Some additional measures against forensics section of this guide.
This will conclude the preparations and you should now be ready to start setting up the final environment that will protect your anonymity online. Do not enable 2D acceleration. This one is done running the following command VBoxManage modifyvm "vm-id" --accelerate2dvideo on off. This one is done running the following command VBoxManage modifyvm "vm-id" --acpi on off. Disable the USB controller which is enabled by default. This offset should be within a millisecond range and should be different for each VM and here are some examples which can be later applied to any VM :.
If you intend to use Tor over VPN for any reason. Remember that in this case, I recommend having two VPN accounts. More on that later. You can decide if you prefer to conduct your sensitive activities from the Whonix Workstation provided in the earlier section highly recommended or from a Custom VM that will use the Whonix Gateway like the Whonix Workstation less secure but might be required depending on what you intend to do. Just use the provided Whonix Workstation VM. It is the safest and most secure way to go on this route.
It is also the only VM that will provide Stream Isolation pre-configured for most apps by default Do not forget to apply the VM hardening recommendations here: Virtualbox Hardening recommendations. Be careful, any customization you make to the non-Whonix guest VMs keyboard layout, language, time zone, screen resolution, or other could be used to fingerprint your VMs later.
Use the Linux Distro of your choice. I would recommend Ubuntu or Fedora for convenience but any other would work too. Be sure to not enable any telemetry. See Appendix V1: Hardening your Browsers as well. Shut down the Whonix Gateway VM this will prevent Windows from sending out telemetry and allow you to create a local account. Follow the steps in Appendix A: Windows Installation. IP address Subnet prefix length 18 Gateway DNS Every time you will power on this VM in the future, make sure you change its Ethernet Mac Address before each boot.
You can only do this while the VM is powered off. Because sometimes you want to run mobile Apps anonymously too. You can also set up an Android VM for this purpose. As in other cases, ideally, this VM will also be sitting behind the Whonix Gateway for Tor network connectivity.
Select Advanced if you want persistence, Live if you want a disposable Boot and skip the next steps. Set up as you wish disable all prompts for data collections.
I recommend using the TaskBar Home. You can run any version of macOS you want. Afterward, and during the install, you will need to input an IP address manually to connect through the Whonix Gateway. There are some drawbacks to running macOS on Virtual Machines. The main one is that they do not have a serial number 0 by default and you will be unable to log in to any Apple-provided service iCloud, iMessage… without a genuine ID.
Note: I also ran in multiple issues with running these on AMD processors. This can be fixed so here is the configuration I used which worked fine with Catalina and Big Sur which will tell Virtualbox to emulate an Intel Processor instead:.
This is the ability to create entries for 2FA authentication with the authenticator feature. You should never do any sensitive activities from your Host OS. If you decided to not use a cash-paid VPN and just want to use Tor, skip this step. If your VPN client does this or asks this, you should consider changing the provider.
I would recommend against this unless you are in a hurry or very lazy. This should keep things in check in terms of security. This way is not supported by the Whonix project but I will go ahead and give this option anyway.
Note that this option as-is will only work on Wi-Fis without a captive portal where you must enter some information to unlock access. For this to work, we will need to change some configurations on the Whonix Gateway VM.
To do those changes the Host OS will still have to have internet access allowed for now. The goal here is to associate with a Wi-Fi network without having an internet connection. We will achieve this by deleting the Gateway from the connection after you are connected:. Just ping youtube. Please find the image below. Here we identified the IP address of YouTube ie.
