As we celebrate the holiday season, the Gnoppix team is excited to bring you a special gift: the early release of Gnoppix 26. This version is packed with groundbreaking features, brand-new services, and a total commitment to your digital freedom. We've taken bold steps to ensure your digital footprint remains yours alone, moving away from restrictive environments. Infrastructure migration - we have officially migrated our core operations to Japan, benefiting from privacy laws that are significantly more robust than those in the EU or US. Tor gateway enhancements - fixed IPv6 issues within the Tor gateway. New Tor bridge - we've moved away from German-based servers (IONOS) due to EU speech restrictions, ensuring a more resilient connection. Gnoppixctl 0.5.7 - added a dedicated 'exit' option to Tor control for ultimate anonymity management. Browser evolution - we have removed Firefox as the default browser due to unacceptable telemetry data sent to Mozilla.
