Anweddol : On-demand temporary virtual machines

Anweddol is a client/server system providing temporary, SSH-controllable virtual machines to enhance anonymity online.

It’s usefulness comes when someone wants to use a fully functional computer while being exposed to less dangers by using it remotely on a dedicated server, and by destroying it after use.

How it works, in a 3-steps scenario

Anweddol usage schema 1
1. The client will first send a request to the server asking it to create a new virtual machine.
Anweddol usage schema 2
2. The server will respond with the SSH coordinates of the created virtual machine to the client so that it can interact with it securely.
Anweddol usage schema 3
3. Once the client has finished using the virtual machine, it will send a request to the server to destroy it.

Open-source and community-driven software

Written in Python, the software has been designed to be versatile and flexible : You can make a completely new client or server implementation from scratch, integrate it into on an existing project, create your own application, ...

Above all, Anweddol is a project that belongs to its community : Everyone can bring new ideas, enhancement, report malfunctions or anything that can improve the software. If you want to be part of it, there is many ways you can contribute to the project, see the [Contribution section] to learn more.
