Downloaded whonix-custom-workstation but I got a .ova file and the instructions mention virtual box only there. I don’t know what to do with .ova file instead of img file

When it says VirtualBox you need to translate that to KVM. Same principles.

And use this file libvirt-dist/usr/share/libvirt-dist/xml/Whonix-Custom-Workstation.xml at master · Kicksecure/libvirt-dist · GitHub.

I extracted the .ova file and converted to img but the img file is only 198kb in size and even with that xml and installing a custom os it still doesn’t connect to tor

Don’t.

  1. You need a KVM VM connected to the gateway.

  2. Configure the OS inside the VM according to documentation.

I made the documentation slightly less confusing regarding virtualizer specific instructions KVM vs VirtualBox but it’s still undocumented.

Note: I am not a maintainer of Whonix KVM.

I did both and it still didn’t work so I don’t know what mistake I made. if I am not supposed to extract the .ova file then how am I supposed to use it?
