A while ago I used whonix.
Back then I needed two VM’s. One for the gateway and one for user operations.
I can no longer find a downloadable gateway VM for running whonix on virtualbox. But amidst the documentation I found a snippet of information saying that only one ova needs to be downloaded and run.
When I load the ova and run whonix I cannot connect to the network.
A dialog comes up saying:
ERROR: Tor Connection Result:
Tor's Control Port could not be reached!
Troubleshooting:
- Confirm that Whonix-Gateway is running.
- Run systemcheck on Whonix-Gateway and confirm success.
- If you're running multiple Whonix-Workstations simultaneously, confirm that separate IP addresses are configured (see https://www.whonix.org/wiki/Multiple_Whonix-Workstations).
- Rerun systemcheck here in this Whonix-Workstation.
(Technical information:)
(tor_circuit_established_check_exit_code: 255)
(tor_bootstrap_timeout_type: )
(tor_bootstrap_status: )
(check_socks_port_open_test: 56)
(Tor Circuit: not established)
So do I need a gateway VM or not?
If so then where do I find it?
If not then how do I get on the network when using whonix?
