Hello. I am new to Whonix and the whole anonymity thing.
I am using the Whonix virtual-box to run a Tor browser. Is there a way I can set a static IP of my choosing so that when I navigate to a particular site it thinks I am coming form that same IP every time?
Thanks in advance for any help!

You can do it by “connecting to Tor before VPN/Proxy”. Not an easy setup but doable.

Hi JDawg
JDawg:
can set a static IP
You can configure Tor to use a specific Exit Node but I would advise against this since it can severely degrade anonymity.
Tor documentation on this can be found here
https://torproject.org/docs/tor-manual.html.en
Scroll down to documentation until you see this
ExitNodes node,node,…
If you were to configure your torrc it would look something like this:
ExitNode <your_exit_node_fingerpint>
Read this first to understand risks etc…
Information on whether Tor gets more or less secure when combining Tor with tunnels such as VPN, SSH, proxies. (User → Tor → proxy/VPN/SSH → Internet) (User → proxy/VPN/SSH → Tor → Internet)
Then to configure User-> Tor-> VPN-> Internet
