Description

When using:

  • multiple internal network interfaces (T109)
  • and only being interested in transparent proxying (Whonix-Custom-Workstations)

Loading all the iptables rules that allow access to Tor SocksPorts (for stream isolation) are useless. And bad. Because the more iptables rules, the higher the CPU usage and the slower the network speed.
