I don't understand what you mean, 'for Windows users'.

For anonymous messages Windows users use Windows and outdated
OmniMix, without the Windows 10/11 sandbox. Hence the suggestion
that they should better use Tails with the Onion Courier Mixnet.

I see. Tnx.

What do you think of this instruction site?

Not about the omnimix 'promotion', but about the education sections
about remailers, nyms, WME? Christian Danner.

Well, the resources are good but als a bit old, me thinks.

For privacy/anonymity the young generation is focusing on
the Nym infrastructure. Nym has already a very large user
base, globally. https://nym.com

OmniMix by itself has a high learning curve, in order to
use all features. And in the age of smartphone usage, it
remains to be seen if OmniMix could ever been ported to
Android/iOS, with it's very small GUI.

Agreed, but you can't send emails or large files with it while
you can with the Onion Courier Mixnet, once the email gateway
is in public service. Sending large files is already possible
with the ocsend-client to an ochome-server endpoint. :-)

And with or without tails people can use https://radio-eriwan.ru
to post to Usenet as well.

It looks to me like the site is all about its VPN; but it does have
useful sections for ecosystem, resources, and blog.

I'm not a Win person except about 1%, then preferably Win7 tools; and
I'm also not a 'phone' person, don't even carry one unless I'm leaving town.

I guess I'm not even a 'privacy' person, except for interest in the 'academics' of the tech.

Well, the core component of Nym is it's Mixnet:

No, problem, but it is always useful to study or talk about this topic.
After all, this is a privacy Newsgroup. :-)

Great graphic; I like when a graphic is 'instantly' instructive.

Simple pictures are powerful; I remember learning a technique for
memorization of a huge list in the form of mental pictures.

The privacy buffs who 'like' to do things w/ free tools and interfaces
are thus able to avoid the 'handicap' (privacy-wise) of payment for a
service; whereas some buffs choose to *trust* a privacy service that
requires some mechanism of payment.

One problem w/ payment seems to require that one establish a
sufficiently anonymous persona, who has acquired a 'burner' phone as
part of their 'mask' to have a route of anonymous connectivity and an anonymous identity which can obscure resources such as cryptocoin.

Most of us have some kind of 'normal' identity and 'normal' connectivity
such as a residence and a connectivity account such as cable internet
and have not gone to the trouble of creating some kind of anonymous
'identity' w/ anonymous connectivity and anonymous resources.

Nym's lite paper explaining its advantages over similar or contrasting services reminds me of a 'scholastic' examination I took decades ago, in
which there was a reading comprehension testing over texts which were
heavily 'didactic'; full of unfamiliar words and terms which required a 'quick' and extensive vocabulary. The tested 'student' had a limited
time to read a number of such texts and then answer questions about the content.

https://nym.com/nymvpn-litepaper

Until today, I was unfamiliar w/ decentralized VPNs and MixNet, 'slowing
me down' in my reading comprehension.

Use a real hypervisor, ESXi or Hyper-V and it will.

Ventoy boots Tails. I haven't tried the latest.

But that isn't the same as wanting to run 2 OS/s at the same time; I
don't want to do that. I have my own methods for flipping from one OS
to another, 2 mobo/storage, 1 kb/mon/mouse.

No they don't. Hyper-V is integrated in Windows. Broadcom has a free
version available or you can use VMware Player.
