I have to use a VPN because Tor is blocked for me, and bridges are too slow to be practical. I’ve installed the VPN on my host, and I can use the normal TorBrowser just fine, but when I boot up the whonix gateway, it fails to connect. I looked at the virtual network settings for the gateway and saw that I can change it from “virtual network ‘default’ : NAT” to “host device [VPN] : macvtap”.
I think this might work, but I don’t know what consequences it will have. Is it safe to try this?
Thank you
