This can provide some additional defense against unwanted surveillance or metadata gethering. + Freedombone has an emphasis on security and privacy, and when installed on a Beaglebone Black it uses the built-in hardware random number generator as an entropy source. All communications with the box are encrypted by default using the recommendations from https://bettercrypto.org. The firewall is configured to only allow communications on the necessary ports and to drop all other packets, icmp is disabled by default, emails are stored in encrypted form using your public key and time synchronisation occurs via TLS only. Backups are also encrypted and can be local or remote. Freedombone is, and shall remain, 100% free software. Non-free repositories are removed automatically upon installation.
