Configuring Onion Service

There’s no need for that. VirtualBox guest addition are installed default. And using the iso can cause some unrelated issues.
( VirtualBox Guest Additions )


Your /etc/tor/torrc looks wrong. This is how original torrc as shipped by Whonix looks:

Just a single line %include /etc/torrc.d/ plus comments

Did you add %include /etc/torrc.d/95_whonix.conf to /etc/tor/torrc?

That should be removed. To open that file in an editor:

lxsudo mousepad /etc/tor/torrc

Looks like you’ve updated from developers repository since only that contains the improved anon-verify. It shows:

4 files are used as Tor configuration files: \
/usr/share/tor/tor-service-defaults-torrc /etc/tor/torrc /etc/torrc.d/95_whonix.conf /etc/torrc.d/95_whonix.conf\

Meaning `/etc/torrc.d/95_whonix.conf` is parsed twice which results in parsing that file twice which configures the hidden service. That's the root cause.


At this point in time developers repository might be OK but I discourage to keep using it. To switch to another repository, see:
