I ported Parrot AnonSurf to CachyOS / Arch

I wanted AnonSurf on CachyOS and ended up making a proper Arch port of Parrot’s version.

It uses its own Tor service, routes TCP and DNS through Tor, blocks unsupported UDP and IPv6 leaks, keeps LAN access working, and cleans up the firewall/network state when you stop it.

I’ve tested start/stop, DNS, Tor routing and normal network restoration on CachyOS and it’s working well now.

Repo if anyone wants to try it or look through the code:
https://github.com/Luvvydev/anonsurf-cachyos

I'm interested to see how it behaves on other CachyOS/Arch setups

Parrot OS as a daily system, SOC workstation, and VM host?

Can Parrot OS be used reliably as a daily system and a 24/7 KVM/Virt-Manager host?
I want to run Home Assistant OS and Ubuntu Server with Wazuh, Suricata, Zeek, and eventually Elastic Stack with Kibana. I would also use Parrot as my main SOC workstation for investigating alerts, threat hunting, analysing logs and PCAP files, using tools such as Wireshark and Nmap, and performing controlled security tests on my home network.
Does this setup make sense, or would Ubuntu/Debian be a better host with Parrot running as a VM?

Kali Linux vs Parrot OS — Which one is better for a beginner?

Hey everyone! I’m a beginner learning cybersecurity and ethical hacking, and I’m trying to decide which Linux distro I should use.

For someone starting from scratch, would you recommend Kali Linux or Parrot OS?

I’m mainly interested in learning Linux, networking, CTFs, web security, and penetration testing.

What are the main differences between the two, and which one would be better for learning in the long run?

Any advice or personal experience would be appreciated. Thanks!
