Features

Linux Kodachi is a security-focused operating system that routes all system-generated traffic through its pre-installed VPN service, followed by the anonymous Tor network, with additional leak protection via DNSCrypt, providing a comprehensive privacy shield. It implements Multi Tor technology, allowing users to select the Tor network's exit node in their desired country. Additionally, it integrates PeerGuardian for hiding IP addresses in P2P networks and uses the Firejail sandbox for securely running applications in an isolated environment.  Kodachi's VPN, Tor, DNSCrypt, and TorCrypt usage creates multilayered IP and DNS protection. It also offers options like MAC spoofing, RAM wiping, and emergency shutdown for robust security measures, configurable VPN settings, UDP port blocking, and time-zone spoofing for network customization. System isolation tools include encrypted containers (VeraCrypt, ZuluCrypt) and support for virtual machines, with features like randomized hardware IDs and IP spoofing to prevent tracking, AES-256 encrypted password management through KeePassXC, and operation as a live OS from a USB drive, leaving no trace on the host machine.
