Qubes 4.0rc4
i have a StandaloneVM that is a clone of whonix-gw
Tor version 0.3.2.9
Linux host 4.14.13-3.pvops.qubes.x86_64
I follow the instructions here:
but running
sudo cat /var/lib/tor/hidden_service/hostname
returns “No such file or directory”
I’ve set up hidden services on Whonix before and i believe this was very straight forward. This is my first time attempting it in Qubes. Any suggestions appreciated.
Hi mimp
Can you post the output of these 3 commands in sys-whonix standalone konsole.
sudo service tor@default reload
sudo service tor@default status
sudo -u debian-tor tor --verify-config
I am trying to do this in a StandaloneVM that is a clone of whonix-gw and connected to sys-firewall. The output of these commands in the StandaloneVM appear to be the same as sys-whonix:

Hi mimp
I configured a StandalonVM (whonix-gw) for v3 hidden service but was unable to reproduce your results. Could you have miss-typed /var/lib/tor/hidden_service/ in your torrc? Could you please post your torrc but make sure to redact any sensitive info.
0brand,
Thanks so much for trying that for me. You are correct. I had “/var/log/tor” instead of “/var/lib/tor” so it kept reading correctly in my head. I changed it and now I"m getting a v3 address in /var/lib/tor/hidden_service/hostname
Solved!
Now I’ve just got to figure out the fire wall. For qubes the wiki says to do:
sudo iptables -I INPUT 5 -p tcp --dport 80 -m conntrack --ctstate NEW -j ACCEPT
But it isn’t clear to me if that is in the ws or the gw. I’m somewhat familiar with iptables, but if someone can explain why that command is necessary that would be helpful.
Thanks.

This is done in Whonix-Workstation (if you look just prior to step 1: Install Server Software)
if someone can explain why that command is necessary that would be helpful.
If you need an exception for a specific application you installed.
