Running Whonix Gateway behind another Whonix Gateway doesn't work for some reason. Any suggestions?

In usual setups, Whonix-Gateway receives it’s IP for its external network interface eth0 using DHCP from the virtualizer.
In a chaining Whonix-Gateway behind Whonix-Gateway setup, the inner chain Whonix-Gateway cannot obtain an IP from the outer Whonix-Gateway using DHCP, but because Whonix-Gateway does not run a DHCP server [discussed elsewhere → ⚓ T239 DHCP support]. Therefore you can try to give inner Whonix-Gateway’s external network interface eth0 a static IP. Setting the outer Whonix-Gateway as its gateway.
I havent tested this for a long time.

That’s ok. We should never introduce DHCP servers/clients on gateway facing the untrusted internal network for security reasons.
I tried manually editing /etc/network/interfaces on GW but I probably put the wrong settings.
