425<p>Existing resources should be consulted for several reasons:
426</p>
427<ul><li>Whonix is a technological means to security, but staying safe necessitates complete behavioral change; it is a complex problem without an easy solution. The more you know, the safer you can be.</li>
428<li>Available <a href="/wiki/Documentation" title="Documentation">Documentation</a> can provide answers to some of these questions.
429<ul><li><a href="/wiki/Documentation" title="Documentation">Documentation</a> answers are generally of higher quality than information posted in a casual setting (like forums or chat).</li></ul></li>
430<li>Some questions/topics are generic in nature and out of scope for Whonix -- in these cases the questioner must acquire a basic prerequisite knowledge of computing elsewhere before attempting further procedures.</li>
431<li>The <a href="/wiki/Self_Support_First_Policy#Self_Support_First_Policy_Rationale" title="Self Support First Policy">Self Support First Policy Rationale</a> and <a href="/wiki/Reporting_Bugs#Policy_Rationale" title="Reporting Bugs">Support Request Policy Rationale</a> apply.</li></ul>
432<p>Developers have made significant efforts to configure safe defaults, but operational security (opsec) is not realized by merely using a suitable platform. Staying safe requires a change of mindset and necessary skills are normally developed via trial and effort, experimentation, and general education.
433</p><p>Computing security is complex subject, which means it is improbable that volunteers can assist with every step of the journey and learning curve. Or course advanced questions about Whonix  are welcomed, particularly for undocumented use cases. <sup id="cite&#95;ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup>
