Clean up and organize privacy pages
* Logically organize the Whonix-related pages
* Move the VPN page to /configuration/
  * VPNs are used for more than just privacy, and many VPN setups and
    services either can't or don't claim to provide privacy.
* Remove `/privacy/` from URLs
  * These directory names are just for organizing the source pages,
    *unless* an actual page resides there. Since there is no
    /doc/privacy/ page, it's unnecessary and misleading to have this in
    the URLs. It also breaks uniformity, since none of the other pages
    have their informal group name in their URL (again, unless there's
    a page with that name).

Whonix for Privacy & Anonymity

To improve your privacy & anonymity on the internet, you can install the Whonix Template on your Qubes machine.

Whonix is based on Debian and Tor and utilizes two VMs, a "gateway" and a "workstation". Qubes security architecture makes use of Whonix's isolation by using the gateway as a ProxyVM to route all network traffic through Tor, while the workstation is used for making AppVMs.

Getting Started with Whonix

To install Whonix, you must have a working Qubes machine already.

Customizing & Uninstalling Whonix

Support for Whonix

You can also use Qubes support, but not all Qubes users run Whonix.
