Just a note from NYX, snowflake-client is broker failed…I haven’t seen all the errors. Do you have the same problem?

Not using it. But your bug report is not in a format which makes it easy for others or developers to help.

Yes it works well, thank you for updating the webpage. But if someone can’t reach Tor network except by snowflake-client, they have to get snowflake-client from Whonix Workstation /var/cache/tb-binary/.tb/tor-browser/Browser/TorBrowser/Tor/PluggableTransports/snowflake-client or deb.debian(dot)org/debian/pool/main/s/snowflake/snowflake-client_2.5.1-1%2bb3_amd64.deb or /tor-browser/Browser/TorBrowser/Tor/PluggableTransports/snowflake-client and copy to Whonix Gateway /usr/bin/snowflake-client.
