@Patrick

curl is a symlink to curl.anondist which is a symlink to uwt which then
runs curl under torsocks which makes it use Tor running on localhost
for stream isolation.

Use curl.anondist-orig to use the original curl.

Could this please be documented somewhere under
https://www.whonix.org/wiki/Dev/anon-ws-disable-stacked-tor or so?
Trying to use curl rather than curl.anondist-orig is a common mistake
when trying to debug Whonix network issues.

Done!

Please let me know if any changes are necessary

Debugging with curl

Trying to use curl rather than curl.anondist-org is a common mistake when debugging Whonix network issues.

curl is a symlink → curl.anondist which is a symlink → uwt which runs curl under torsocks which then makes it use Tor running on localhost for stream isolation.

To use curl

• command must be run under user clearnet
• uwt steam isolation wrapper must be deactivated

In Whonix-Gateway or sys-whonix (Qube-Whonix)

1. Change to user clearnet

sudo su clearnet

2. Deactivate uwt stream isolation wrapper by appending .anondist-orig to curl

curl.anondist-org <your_url>

Note to self: Remove sandboxed Tor Browser link from Whonix 14 release notes
