So I was hoping for somebody who already went through this to share info. The couple I have tried so far do not even use HTTPS for the control panel. I searched for ssh support and it is a web console that simulates ssh in the browser. FTP so far is plain and open. And to make things nicer, they do email me the account and password. >> So FTP is safe with Tor? What other protocols are fine over Tor? SSH is one. > > That is a very complicated question.

How's «properly configured»? How do I know it is properly configured? The wiki is quite messy. And you have old stuff and new stuff. None is dated so the new stuff can be old as well. I fully agree with you: complex apps are simply complex. I want basic tools and for that I am ready to pass the GUI and go for the shell. But how do I test for leaks? Please understand, I have nothing against you: on the contrary, you are the only one who answered me. But the whole thing is a mess. A year or so I asked the Tails guys why doesn't my USB installed from VirtualBox doesn't work. They were rather cold and the main guy said something along the lines: it's not free and we don't support it. Yes, the USB part of VirtualBox is not supported. Whonix needs it. And it's a 3Gb download. I feel so lost...
