TBB New Identity Breaks Tor Control Port / Maximum Connections

Whonix firewall and cpfpy should not interact. But btw this is a great opportunity to hint at the following chapter. It explains how to create a deterministic dump of iptables rules. Then you could change something or do something. After that you can create a second deterministic dump and then compare both with a diff viewer.

Yes, as of Whonix 13, it’s 5. Config:

https://github.com/Whonix/control-port-filter-python/blob/88aafe059bb05dd1175148d00f635db6ff020cbd/etc/cpfpy.d/30_default.conf#L109-L113

Please try to increase that number. I wonder why we have set it so low. Probably that default was set long before there was Qubes-Whonix a thing. Feel free to set it to 50 or so. Then

 sudo service control-port-filter-python restart

Have we found the culprit? :slight_smile:
