Opsec_Curious

I’m curious, there is a paid service I used before with Windows, while on Qubes, I need this service but dont want to keep shutting-down and booting tp windows just to use that, so i’m thinking if I create a new qubes then set a VPN, does that keep me track safe?

Could you be more specific what you talking about?
What OPSEC and why VPN could set you up?

Like being fingerprinted. I have used the service repeatedly with windows before I switch to Qubes, no doubts, I must have been marked. Using the same service in Qubes, it will definitely connect my session from Qubes with Windows in the activity history,

While this,

does my anonymity via other qubes get affected since I brought in service from other computer?

Still you don’t saying much.

OPSEC is broad so how do we might know what you used?

For undisclosed OPSEC search forum. There are topics about running QubesOS in RAM (full disposable system), topics about VPNs, topics about system encryption, topics about browser fingerprinting, topics about u2f, topics about TOTP, topics about GPG, topics about SSH, topics about TOR, heck, there is even I2P one (I’ve tried it for browsing and it works :stuck_out_tongue:).

If you would be more specific what you used and what you want to achieve then someone might answer.
Asking “What to do to be safe” tells nothing about what you really want/need.

I will just go with the disposable system. Thanks for your time.

Again.
Did your OPSEC was VPN to go around GW?
Check on internet if your VPN provider is logging anything.
And VPN could be made as serviceVM that your qubes is connecting to internet with (I have different sys-vpn qubes for different appVMs and each sys-vpn is connecting to random servers in configured area).
As for disposable and fingerprinting go to
