Extra layers, virus/malware protection while researching! ( pizzagate )

submitted by xev

I use a vpn but I also use a sandbox. It's sort of an advanced incognito mode/virtual os. Leaves less to worry about when visiting random sites because if one has malware, you simply restart the sandbox and it's gone. Not needed for regular browsing and downfall is manually saving things as once the sandbox is closed everything is destroyed inside. Anyone else use a sandbox tool? I personally use sandboxie, very easy to use.

@xev , your submission is not directly related to Pizzagate, and is a meta post, so I'm removing it under rules 1 and 4. Please resubmit this on /v/pizzagatewhatever . Thank you.

Breah no, it's for your users. Reinstate.

I'm a bit concerned that the logo seems to resemble a pizza. how secure is it? Wouldnt a virtualbox be more advisable.

"Trust No Program" is the motto. How do we know to trust that one though.

Like i replied to the other guy, it's for people who aren't really inclined to run virtual boxes and all that but want the type of protection something like that offers even if it isn't as good because otherwise they wouldn't do it at all.

quick edit, plus its good for lower end machines and ease of use.

what about tails with encrypted persistence?

That would be optimal combined with anonymous wifi, stuff like sandboxie though an everyday person can use it and be a lot safer while researching.
