Applications that require an internet connection do not work

Connected to a tor connection through the whonix gateway.
But on the whonix workstation and other OS I tried to connect to via the whonix network, I have the same problem:
Websites work through the browser, but applications that require a network connection do not load (e.g. game launchers, crypto wallets, etc.)

First we need to confirm that connectivity is generally functional. That should be done by using common, “non-special” applications. What do I mean by “non-special cases”? Something simple such as curl.

For example, this can be done using systemcheck.

systemcheck --ip-test

And/or:

Once it has been established that Transparent Torification is possible, there are a few reasons why the “special cases” are failing.

What are special cases?

  • Geo-blocking - Unreachable Websites (says websites but applications such as crypto wallets are often just light wallets using some API behind cloudflare. Not at all decentralized or censorship resistant.)
  • UDP

This came up on the TCP and DNS test:

curl: (7) Failed to connect to check.torprojectorg port 443 after 1 ms: Couldn’t connect to server
zsh: exit 7 UWT_DEV_PASSTHROUGH=1 scurl

And this command systemcheck --ip-test gave it away:

These tests must be run on Whonix-Workstation because this is where applications should be run.

  1. systemcheck --ip-test

  1. DNS TEST (nslookup check.torprojectorg)

[workstation user ~]% nslookup check.torprojectorg
;; communications error to 10.152.152.10#53: timed out
Server: 10.152.152.10
Address: 10.152.152.10#53

Non-authoritative answer:
Name: check.torprojectorg
Address: 116.202.120.181
** server can’t find check.torprojectorg: NXDOMAIN

3-DNS TEST, 4 - TCP and DNS Test - all done

All functional.

But the problem with applications that require internet not loading remains

And the answer that can be given remains the same.

You can only follow these links, read and act according to documentation.
