Hi,

first, congrats for pushing uVirtus 2.0 out of the door.
Various questions and remarks follow.

Thanks for considering my request. I'm glad I can now read "Some parts
of the documentation were copied from Tails Linux" on various pages.
However, technically, I doubt the relicensing is OK.

Also, the thing is called "Tails", not "Tails Linux".

To end with, that's surely a minor detail, but please consider using
https:// URIs when linking to our website :)

I'm still curious about the actual anonymity threat model.

The "uVirtus offers anonymity through the untraceable VPN connection"
claim seems a pretty bold one to me, given the obvious problems
one-hop proxies have when anonymity is at stake.

Also, on https://uvirtus.org/wiki/index.php/Network_Manager I can read
instructions to use the OpenDNS or Google DNS server. How does that
play with these "untraceable" and "anonymity" claims?

uVirtus 2.0 has been released for more than a week now, and I'm still
not able to find the source code, despite the homepage reading "You
can build your own uVirtus distro – client and Server Visit the
developer’s page". Where should I look?

To end with, if I wanted to understand how the SanctuaryClient
authenticates the VPN configuration it retrieves, where should I start
looking at in this not-so-small piece of code?

Thanks for your attention :)

Cheers,
