Whonix Gateway & Workstation vs Whonix Gateway & Windows/Linux VM

Hello,
New to this community, And also new to using whonix.

2 questions:

  1. Running whonix gateway and windows vm, I have changed the windows vm’s settings to internal network and updated the ipv4 parameters to:

IP address: 10.152.152.51
Subnet mask: 255.255.192.0
Default gateway: 10.152.152.10
Preferred DNS server: 10.152.152.10

Am I losing some of the whonix stability/security while using it as described?

  1. Any way to use more then 1 windos or linux vm together with that 1 whonix gateway?
    If I change the same above parameters on a 2nd windows vm, 1 or both often are aborted.

Thank you.

Good day,

regarding the use of a Windows-based-Workstation, please refer to this, there everything, including possible security issues is explained: Anonymize Other Operating Systems

Furthermore, you may use multiple workstation with one gateway, as explained here: Multiple Whonix-Workstation ™

Have a nice day,
