Setup a VPN in ProxyVM over sys-whonix

[eprer]

Hello
I would this configuration
sys-whonix–>proxyVM–>appVM (not anon-whonix)
I created a VPN configuration in network manager but when I try to connect the VPN fail, while if I connect the same VPN to a normal proxy machine, works. Do I change anything in sys-whonix? Or is a problem of my VPN?

Thank you

Please use the same way to describe the terminology / connection scheme that you want to accomplish as under the following wiki page.

Tunnels/Introduction

Otherwise due to the great complexity of the topic it is very easy to talk past one another.

It it this ticket?

Issue: Test and document VPN ProxyVM between anon-whonix and sys-whonix

For now, undocumented, unsupported. ( https://www.whonix.org/wiki/Unsupported )

I have a look if I can get that documented, don’t hold your breath for it.

Hello
The only difference is that I don’t want a workstation like appVM but I setup a fedora template appVM

Some VPN connect while others no

Some VPN connect while others no

Using VPN in TCP mode?

[eprer]

Yes, TCP works, UDP no

[Patrick]

This is expected. I added this fact and the reasoning for that to
documentation after your report.

Hi Patrick: Interestingly, openvpn would only report “TCP connection reset” when I used the native port 1194. Switching to port 443 works, though. VPN providers may only support TCP on an alternate port number.
