Private Communications Policy
Please avoid private communications whenever possible. Whonix is a Freedom Software project. Free as in Price as well as in Freedom. (Why?) Therefore as many communications as possible should happen in public for transparency. Post in Whonix forums whenever appropriate and possible.
Encrypted Communications Policy
Encrypted communications are accepted in the following categories: for reporting security issues, for private inquiries, legal.
Default Application Policy
With or without sponsorship, please do not send an e-mail to argue for or against the inclusion of any software in Whonix.
For software inclusion: The best way for your software to shine and advertise itself is by earning a strong reputation that our community will discover organically, without any e-mails or payments required.
Whonix Default Application Policy applies.

No Leaks Policy
Whonix is not an investigative nor a malware forensics outfit. Leaks will be rejected. Unsolicited information will remain unread and will be securely deleted. No malware analysis and/or publication services are available. Feel free to consult third parties and knowledgeable malware researchers to discover the vulnerabilities, while notifying the publishers/maintainers of each package directly through responsible disclosure. Only responsibly notify us about security bugs in the instance of a Whonix package being affected. [1]
Social Media
There are a few Whonix Social Media Profiles, but they should not be relied upon for the latest Whonix news. See Stay Tuned for reliable ways of following Whonix news.
In addition, when appropriate Whonix developers should be directly contacted by email and not via social media as these are likely to get unnoticed.
Some users may wish to follow or like the available Whonix profiles (with an anonymous account). This applies if it is safe to talk about using the Whonix platform and you want to share your experience with others. This is also a small way to contribute to the project.
Project Statements
The personal opinions of moderators or contributors to the Whonix project do not represent the project as a whole.
Footnotes
- ↑ Whonix is a very complex project with many aspects such as technology, legal, licenses, trademarks. Additional challenges from being a leak, investigative project or similar activities which would require very different infrastructure are therefore avoided.
