I have a few Debian Jessie vm’s connected to the Whonix gateway, but after having cloned one of the vms the network connections from all the Debian Jessie machines to the whonix gateway broke. I can remember I checked reinitialize the mac address of all network cards
, maybe this does have something to do with it.
This is my /etc/network/interfaces
in my Debian machines, network manager is uninstalled, used to work perfectly:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopbackauto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 10.152.152.15
netmask 255.255.192.0
gateway 10.152.152.10
The Debian Jessie VM has 1 adapter: PCnet-FAST ||| (Internal Network, 'Whonix')
This is my /etc/network/interfaces
(without comments) in the Whonix Gateway:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopbackauto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcpauto eth1
iface eth1 inet static
address 10.152.152.10
netmask 255.255.192.0
Whonix gateway has 2 adapters:
PCnet-FAST ||| (NAT)
PCnet-FAST ||| (Internal Network, 'Whonix')
Strange thing is, the Whonix workstation that is also connected to the same gateway continues to work, while several linux machines that used to work in the past don’t anymore.
What else is the Whonix Gateway doing to make internal network connections possible? What options do I have left to troubleshoot this problem? Or have I maybe uncovered a bug in Virtualbox?
