Possible issues:
- sdwdate will need a few more moments for fetching the time.
- sdwdate time sources might be dysfunctional.

Recommendations:

A) Rerun whonixcheck:
dom0 -> Start Menu -> ServiceVM: anon-all -> Whonix Check
or in Terminal: whonixcheck
or in Terminal with debugging: whonixcheck --debug --verbose --gui --cli

B) Restart sdwdate.
dom0 -> Start Menu -> ServiceVM: anon-all -> sdwdate-gui -> right click on sdwdate-gui systray -> Restart sdwdate
or in Terminal: sudo service sdwdate restart

C) Manually set the time.

As last resort...

1. Open a terminal. (dom0 -> Start Menu -> ServiceVM: anon-all -> Terminal)
2. Use the manual clock setting tool. kdesudo clock-random-manual-gui
3. Simulate sdwdate success. sudo touch /var/run/sdwdate/first_success
4. Rerun whonixcheck.

I get this too with obfs4 along with other things like I have to keep restarting tor on whonix-gw because all my whonix-ws base vms lose connection and I cant browse any more. Dont know if its the update to torbrowser 8.0 or a different update that makes the problem.

Hi @nurmagoz

You will receive Tor connection successful notice before time synce success notice.

https://whonix.org/wiki/Dev/TimeSync#Overview

Since sdwdate has failures it could be the bridges that you are using? Does sdwdate reach max number of failures with default (builtin) bridges?

What happens when you follow the other recommendations ?

A) Already completed


B) Restart sdwdate.
dom0 -> Start Menu -> ServiceVM: anon-all -> sdwdate-gui -> right click on sdwdate-gui systray -> Restart sdwdate
or in Terminal: sudo service sdwdate restart

C) Manually set the time.

As last resort...

1. Open a terminal. (dom0 -> Start Menu -> ServiceVM: anon-all -> Terminal)
2. Use the manual clock setting tool. kdesudo clock-random-manual-gui
3. Simulate sdwdate success. sudo touch /var/run/sdwdate/first_success
4. Rerun whonixcheck.

You can follow the recommendation as posted above. To manually reset time:

You can use this site for correct UTC time

This looks like impatience. Was “only 90 seconds”. Only sdwdate iteration 2.

If censors throttle (slow down) connections, I can’t help with that.

If Tor plugable transports are slow, I can’t help either.

There doesn’t seem to be any censorship circumvention method that is
fast on the horizon which at the same time is free, easy to use and
easily installable from Debian package sources.
