By default extensions cannot access any external proress and hence you will be asked to install a minimal NodeJS native client as a bridge to let the extension start and stop a native application (Tor executable). The extension adds a toolbar button to your browser and starts Tor in a background tab. Tor Control add-on aims to bring the power of Tor network to the browser of your choice. Readers who are interested in replacing or pairing Tor with alternative networks in Whonix ™ should refer to the links below.What is "Tor Control" extension and how does it work? For example, there is not much point in a separate 'JonDoBOX', if most of the knowledge and code is shared. In the event a new developer joins the Whonix ™ project who actively supports a Tor alternative, then equal support could be provided. It is also very difficult to simultaneously stay up-to-date, maintain equal interest, and be fully educated about a host of other anonymizing networks. Although Whonix ™ developers have great respect for Tor alternatives, along with their developers and users, they are simply more accustomed to the Tor network (which is also a personal preference). Unlike the Tor network, at the moment Whonix ™ support for other anonymizing networks is fairly rudimentary. It only occurred to developers much later on that alternatives could be used. The primary reason Whonix ™ started with Tor was because all developers were Tor users. In general, the Whonix ™ Framework is agnostic about which anonymizing network is in use. Interested readers can refer to the Inspiration entry, which outlines some research in addition to theoretical and practical work completed to date. Development in this area has stalled due to a lack of interest from users, upstream developers and Whonix ™ developers. In theory Tor could be completely replaced with another suitable anonymizing network see Whonix ™ Framework.
This means the other network will be tunneled through Tor. Whonix ™ can be paired with any other suitable anonymizing network. Note: all networks differ in their threat model and security! Conduct careful research before relying upon an alternative network for anonymity purposes.
