Privacy has become a keynant that can then be used for targeted marketing to protect your information and prevent third party from creating consumer profiles … or worse.
By that end, there are countless products and services that promise to keep you and your information private. Some work, and nothing is nothing but snake oil.
For me, the best path to privacy is Linux and one of many privacy-centric distribles. Recently, I stumbled on another such distribution, SecoronisThe name reminds me of Arconis cyber security solution, but I believe that Linux distribution and proprietary business software have nothing to do with each other.
The Securonis Debian is based on the test branch and automatically, out of the box, roots all traffic through the TOR network, which means it is private and safe from jump. It also includes a good number of applications towards keeping you even more safe.

Securonis can be run as a live distribution (without installing it directly on its drive from RAM) or it can be installed with easy-to-use Calamares installer.
All this may look complicated. Finally, you will find many pre -gentle apps that you can go, “Huh?” But even I2P router, pxrtalcrypt, securonis dnscrypt, system night, vesperaracrypt, secdnsacheger, and wireshak with coupled software, this distribution can be used as a standard OS – only more private – only more private. And with being securonis default for Met Desktop, anyone will look right at home, regardless of skill level, regardless of skill level.
Even the web browser is extended to privacy.

What is to use Securonis? I contacted it in such a way that I knew nothing about Linux, Tor, or any privacy-centered tool, and here it is reported how it happened.
My experience with securonis
I decided to go on the installation route, which was incredibly simple. I answered some quick questions, my user information type, and the installer shut down. After about five minutes, the installation was completed, and I was ready to log in.
After logging in, my first perception was that the Secureonis looks like any other Linux distribution, taking into account security and privacy. The Met Desktop is as simple as it is, and the theme is a normal dark tech on the desktop. There are some applications shortcuts that are eager to me, such as launcher in the top bar. One is named Seconionis (not typo).
This onion takes secoronis on the network.
When I click on that icon, a window starts with options such as starting toring, stop toring, tor status, restart toring, set autostart, and more. Essentially, my entrance to Seconis Tor Network, which makes it an important tool.
From here, you can manage all aspects of Tor Network.

In fact, before opening Seconis, I launched FIRESCORPION browser, only to find out that I could not reach the Internet.

I was sure that the key to reaching the Internet is in two devices – Seconionis and DNSCRYPT. The first thing I did was was dnscrypt and selection 1 (to start dnscrypt). This terminal application manages DNS encryption. Once it was going on, I realized that it would be meaningless for my needs, as the Tor would encrypted my outgoing traffic. So, I shut down it and turned into a seconionis tool.
This command line tool is very easy to get even more encryption for your network traffic.

From the Seconionis Tool, I started the Tor Network and then enabled Autostart by clicking on the set Autostart.
After the Tor’s walk, I went back to the firescorapian to see how things were behaving. For my surprise, the privacy was so strong that I could not reach Dakdakgo or Google. However, I could reach other sites. Nevertheless, on every site, FIRESCORPION informed me that a safe site (HTTPS) was not available, even when I knew it was. I can definitely click, “Continue on http site”, and everything was fine. I can also type (a URL that always works) and can get the same error.
What is disappointing that each site connection varies. In some examples, I noticed that a window indicated that my request was being verified, and the connection did not proceed further. Some sites worked, but only modest.
If I had to guess what was going on, it was all of various privacy and security mechanisms working against each other. To test that theory, I decided to try to use a separate web browser. First, I removed the Tor Browser to see if it would solve the issues.
It took a little time to download the Tor Browser for the first time, but once it was installed, I drove it and was surprised that it asked me to connect to the Tor Network, seeing that the OS was already connected. I was not surprised when the Tor Browser was not able to connect to the Tor Network. On the next browser.
I installed chromium to see how it would rent. Since I was still on the TOR network, installation took a long time but eventually failed. This was when I realized my problem.
The OS was set in the wrong time area. Either I thought. I made sure that the time area was correct, but refused to change the time. Finally, I had to set the right time through the command line like:
Sudo date -Set = “23 June 2025 07:55:00”
Once he was noticed, everything suddenly worked!

Well, this should not be a problem as I set the appropriate time area during installation. I am not sure what was going on, but at least I was able to solve it. However, when I launched FIRESCORPION, I checked my IP address, and clearly things were not being rooted through Tor Network. I checked to ensure that the TOR network was running, and it was. After starting the Tor again, everything had come back how it should have been – my IP address and location was masked, and everything was fine.
Should you try securonis?
Securonis is a linux distribution with powerful privacy tools. The problem is that the average user can struggle to gain momentum with complications and complications of using such operating systems. If, on the other hand, you know how to prevent time zone and understand how to make torches and secureds, you will find Sexonis to be a powerful ally in struggle for privacy.

When I needed serious security and privacy, I could easily see myself by default for adoronis. I can use it as a virtual machine, can set it on fire, do some business, and close it. I can never imagine using it as a default OS, but to prepare it – when I need to receive it Real With privacy – can be a great option.
If you are interested in going to securonis, Download an ISO And either run it as a live example or install it to see what it is.
