Stream Isolation Functional?

Support
1

Hello, On the new Whonix 14, the Whonix check doesn’t automatically start, so I am unsure if I am connected to Tor. I find myself running the check every time I logon. Is this normal?

Also, with Whonix 13, after the check would run, it would pop up with a window saying “Stream Isolation Functional” and show the two IP addresses. Is this no longer happening? I liked having that pop up as an assurance. Is it safe to assume it’s functional, or is there a way I can double check?

Thanks!

Hi David888

These changes were made for Whonix 14. What you are see is expected behavior.

https://github.com/Whonix/whonixcheck/commit/58c66f5700f0e90301a9e4d6042f573371671edd

Whonix uses stream isolation for all applications listed here unless you disable it.
