- Experts only!
- This is only a summary.
- You normally do not need to manually resolve DNS on Whonix-Gateway.
- Whonix has by default a feature to hide the fact, that you are a Whonix user.
- This will NOT hide the fact that you are a Tor user from your ISP!
- Hiding the fact, that you are a Tor user, is available as an optional configuration.
- Whonix-Workstations traffic goes through Tors Socks-, Dns- or TransPorts.
- Whonix-Gateway can only send traffic through Tor as well.
- Whonix-Gateway has no longer a Trans- or DnsPort.
- For example, apt-get will actually call the uwt wrapper /usr/bin/apt-get.
- The apt-get uwt wrapper will with help of uwt and torsocks force also
Whonix-Gateways traffic through Tor.
- Thus hiding the fact, that you are a Whonix user.
- Only as either,
- as clearnet user or
- after activation of transparent proxying for Whonix-Gateway
in /etc/whonix_firewall.d/ or
- after allowing Whonix-Gateways root sending non-Tor traffic
in /etc/whonix_firewall.d/
