Looks so. Another point - can the UTC settings in Whonix be a giveaway?

Tor browser presents UTC anyway. If somehow the Guest time is exposed (if not possible with TBB, then say with FF), this info can be used.

For example, a clearnet site in Russian observes the following:

  • User accesses it at hours that makes sense for people in Russian timezone
  • User arrives through a Tor exit relay
  • Browser exposes the OS timezone is UTC

What’s the likelihood it’s a Whonix user? Similarly for an Australian or Japanese site? or a site that mainly relevant for Pacific time users?
