Adding webtunel bridges to whonix

Support

The best method I can get is Configure (Private) (Obfuscated) Tor Bridges, can I follow this method to add webtunel bridges to Whonix?

No, unfortunately not at time of writing. It is undocumented.

Added just now a new chapter on the same wiki page:
WebTunnel

WebTunnel is an undocumented pluggable transport.

See also Rationale for Unsupported Bridges.

Without volunteer development contributions to Whonix this will probably take a few years, if it ever happens.

Is it possible to manually install WebTunnel? (and is it located in lyrebird?) I think it’s possible, but can the devs maybe create a small guide on how to install it and set it up manually to work with whonix Tor since it’s not available via the debian packages?
Thanks.

Tails work on Debian 12 and added webtunnel in the new version. Perhaps you could try using Tails as a gateway for the workstation, or add the Tails repository to gateway and attempt to install the needed packages from there.

This is a very difficult modification.

It’s most likely not a repository. It’s probably similar to this:
make TBB usable as "system Tor", so latest pluggable transports and the tor-launcher graphical user interface can be used in Whonix

Yeah, thanks, but can’t you integrate the lyrebird executable with clienttransportplugin webtunnel to work with whonix? Like if you add that line into the place where you can add ‘custom user torrc‘ stuff, it doesn’t work with Tor. The gui only supports a few bridge types, but why can’t I add another one named ‘webtunnel‘? How to modify it like that, if possible, or is it not recommended or anything else?
