Securonis Linux is a privacy and security-focused distribution based on Debian’s Testing branch. It features a preconfigured tool that routes all traffic through the Tor network, and includes various privacy tools and custom-built utilities.
Using the lightweight MATE desktop, Securonis can run in live mode or be installed permanently via the Calamares installer. Its goal is to offer a secure and privacy-respecting system that’s suitable for everyday use.
At its core lies a custom tool named Seconionis, which forces all incoming and outgoing traffic through the Tor network. This tool also modifies kernel and network configurations to minimize the risk of data leakage.
The system includes a wide range of encryption, security, and data wiping tools. DNS queries are encrypted via DNSCrypt-Proxy, ensuring secure DNS resolution.
Securonis comes pre-installed with the I2P Router, a graphical user interface, and a preconfigured browser—making access to the I2P network seamless.
With the System Hardening Script, kernel and network settings are fortified to protect against unauthorized access.
It also comes with a custom tool called System Knight, designed to scan the system for malware and rootkits.
Securonis Linux comes with dozens of custom-built applications, tools, scripts, and automations—all developed exclusively for the system. These tools are fully integrated and embedded into the OS.

What's a Linux distribution ("distro")? |
| A distro provides the user with a desktop environment, preloaded applications, and ways to update and maintain the system. Each distro makes different choices, deciding which open source projects to install and provides custom written programs. They can have different philosophies. Some distros are intended for desktop computers, some for servers without a graphical interface, and others for special uses. Because Linux is an open source operating system, combinations of software vary between Linux distros. |
