Cyclop OS Security & Privacy

Security & Privacy

Locked down and private the moment you boot, no configuration required.

Full-disk encryption

Your data is encrypted at rest, set up right from the installer.

Encrypted DNS

DNS queries are encrypted by default, so your browsing stays private.

System-wide tracker blocking

A maintained blocklist stops ads and trackers across every app.

Firewall on by default

The firewall is active out of the box, with sensible rules.

Kernel hardening

Hardened kernel settings reduce the attack surface automatically.

No telemetry, ever

Nothing phones home. What happens on your machine stays on it.

Automatic security updates

Critical patches install quietly in the background.

One-click system snapshots

Roll back to a working state in minutes if something goes wrong.

Why switch

No license tax, no forced hardware upgrades, no ads in your menu, and no telemetry. The same familiar workflow, with privacy and control back in your hands.

Controlled total cost of ownership

Revives hardware instead of replacing it
