I am always interested and taking ideas from whonix. But it's vmbox issue
keeping me away from it. I understand a virtual machine is working as a
protective layer, but it is too much for a client PC. The whonix gateway
running on a dedicated box will give some relief but as a standalone
system, where user travel a lot, is problematic if the machine is not very
powerful. A service which just

-> apply macchanger
-> apply utc
-> start a tor
-> tor dns at /etc/resolv.conf
-> apply strict firewall
-> and then start a vpn over tor
-> finally a check mechanism to test everything
-> periodic vpn check and auto reconnect

seems an alternative to secure the ***existing running system***
The vpn sees the tor exit node.
When you stop that service, the system goes back to insecure nature again.
Ideas are welcome.
