From https://www.whonix.org/wiki/Multiple_Whonix-Workstation#Non-Qubes-Whonix article (I’m not allowed links) I understood that in order to use the Whonix-Gateway with Multiple Workstations at the same time I need to duplicate the Whonix-Internal network for every new Workstation but with a new MAC address which I did but https://www.whonix.org/wiki/KVM#Creating_Multiple_Internal_Networks article doesn’t seem to also include the fact that without also editing the bridge parameter creating a new internal network (either by GUI or by terminal) will fail with:
error: internal error: bridge name ‘virbr2’ already in use
So I also incremented the bridge parameter to virbr3 and then proceeded to increment the IP address of the new cloned workstation. But after starting both virtual machines only the original (on Whonix-Internal) seems to work while the cloned one (on Whonix-Internal2) doesn’t connect to the internet at all.
How exactly should I accomplish this?
My intuition tells me that you only need to increment the IP address of the new virtual machine and skip the part with cloning the internal network (which is required only if you use multiple Whonix-Workstations with multiple Whonix-Gateways also on a 1:1 ratio). If so, both documentation pages need to be updated to explicitly mention that you need to clone the internal network only if you use multiple gateways otherwise skip.
Is incrementing the IP address sufficient to use multiple Whonix Workstations with one gateway? Do I benefit from separate (unlinkable unless Gateway compromised) Tor identities?
