[Lokinet](https://lokinet.org) is an Internet overlay network utilizing onion routing to provide anonimity for its users, similar to Tor network. This post will provide a quick (and non exhaustive) list of its [pros](#advantages) and [cons](#disadvantages) from an end user perspective and go over how to set it up on Qubes OS.

## Advantages
- Provides anonimity by removing trust in a service provider (as opposed to a traditional VPN)
- Provides anonymity by removing trust in a service provider (as opposed to a traditional VPN)
- Better versatility than Tor by supporting any IP based protocols (Tor only supports TCP)
- Generally faster speed than the Tor Network

## Creating the TemplateVM
As mentioned [above](#disadvantages), the Lokinet client only works well with Debian-based distributions. This means that our template will have to be one of the Debian-based ones, and I would highly recommend that you convert the official Debian template by the Qubes OS team into a KickSecure template to use as a base. KickSecure reduces the attack surface of Debian with a substantial set of hardening configurations, and a nice feature to go with an anonimity network like Lokinet is [Boot Clock Randomization](https://www.kicksecure.com/wiki/Boot_Clock_Randomization) which helps defend against [time-based denonymization attacks](https://www.whonix.org/wiki/Time_Attacks). You will only need the `kicksecure-cli` meta package (`kicksecure-gui` is unnecessary), and experimental services like `proc-hidepid`, `hide-hardware-info` and `permission-hardening` work just fine with the Lokinet client. [Hardened Malloc](https://www.kicksecure.com/wiki/Hardened_Malloc) and [LKRG](https://www.kicksecure.com/wiki/Linux_Kernel_Runtime_Guard_LKRG) do not cause any problem with Lokinet, either.

Since DNS with Lokinet does not work if it is installed inside of a ProxyVM, we will need to have Lokinet running inside the same AppVM as the applications you intend to run. This is less than ideal, as a compromised AppVM could reveal your IP address. Beyond that, accidental leaks can happen, too.
