user@host:~$ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

ok thanks I have got another error today in WhonixCheck in my Workstation:

used this comment in console but it is still showing this message
wait so you apt-get update and dist upgrade, gave sudo permissions and verified the upgrade with “Y” once asked and Whonixcheck still tells you to upgrade? That’s strange. What is the output, when simply running “apt-get update” under su?

while using socks instead of a VPN is explained on that site as well, combining the two is not, mainly for the reason that, in the way you described it, there is no reason what so ever to do it. Why hide your usage of Tor from a proxy? Moreover, I can’t really understand, why many people have this weird fascination with socks proxys, as they are technically inferior, almost all the time more expensive and last but not least, much easier to break, when compared to a VPN.
Connecting to Tor before a VPN (User -> Tor -> VPN -> Internet)
Test if that works as expected.
Then you follow the instructions for
Connecting to Tor before a proxy (User -> Tor -> proxy -> Internet)
The following methods should work.
Proxy Settings Method
Proxyfier Method
The bullets points are all chapters on that page.
I don’t see why it shouldn’t be possible to use User -> Tor -> VPN -> proxy -> Internet
that way. Once properly set up (follow the documentation and test), everything leaving the workstation is forced through the VPN by the workstation. And everything leaving the workstation is forced through Tor by the gateway. So now, when lets say the browser is configured to use a proxy, then it will hopefully [see documentation] do so. I.e. browser wants to connect to the proxy, and then the workstation forces it through the VPN, and then the gateway forces it through Tor. I am quite certain this would result in: User -> Tor -> VPN -> proxy -> Internet
