That does sound highly secure. I like your set up. I definitely think there's room to roll this out onto anonymously leased LUKS-encrypted servers, over Tor. What made you create such a secure setup? And what were the biggest challenges you in this? I'm just starting this, so I'm using normal cloud servers. Other options I know people are interested in are self-hosting. I really appreciate your suggestion!

I just got curious about hardcore "black hat" onion sites. And didn't want to get pwned. But yes, self hosting. It'd be really cool if you could do something analogous to streisand. The hardest part was doing RDP via Tor. Latency can get so bad that it's unusable. But now that I think of it, I've also used remote Transmission nodes via Tor, running the WebGUI as an onion service. So maybe there's a way to access a remote browser as an onion service. There'd still be latency, but with less bits to move, maybe it'd be less problematic. Edit: I looked at the BrowserGap link, but see no documentation. If I may ask, how does it do remote browser isolation? It's gotta be more than a proxy. But it's also gotta be less than a VPS, given that it's just a URL. Some sort of container, I guess. And another question. Do you implement ad blocking?

  I'm grateful for the technical details in your answer, and the feedback about hard to find docs. There's a link to a PDF of points that address common questions on the BrowserGap homepage. I believe it addresses your question in quite a bit of depth. I admit the link could be more prominent, and also that the PDF could be more polished. Also, ad blocking is included! It blocks alot of ads, and not all. Do you mind if I ask what sort of UI client did you use for RDP?

    Thanks. I did see "View our response to Gartner's Remote Browser Isolation Evaluation Factors." but didn't look. I see that you do use dedicated VPS. And although I'm still a little puzzled by "Interactive Image™ technology", I gather that it's something like RDP. But just for the browser. I used mainly rdesktop and Remmina.
