Description
Issue:
Tunneling lovers are often confused why there applications are “only” routed through Tor and not user → Tor → VPN/proxy/ssh due to Whonix’s stream isolation design.
To aid this, in such cases, we could on documentation side:
disable uwt wrappers (documented here)(done)enable Transparent Proxying for Tor Browser (documented here)(done)
And on technical side:
- whonix-ws-firewall needs a VPN_FIREWALL feature → T158
Implementation idea:
whonixadvsetup on Whonix-Workstation could get a new menu point I would like to keep as simple by default for users who are not interested in user → Tor → VPN/proxy/ssh.
Title:
VPN/proxy/ssh Tunnel support
Text:
Do you plan to tunnel a VPN, proxy or ssh through Tor (user → Tor → VPN/proxy/ssh → destination)?
Most users don’t need this. If you don’t know, just choose No.
Question:
Yes / No (Default: No)
Also also a details button, where it is explained in detail or links to documentation.
If “No” gets chosen → just do nothing and continue.
If “Yes” gets chosen. It could be either a textual feature or really do something (T143).
