Ok so my nat adapter settings are fine and I can confirm the uplink works in a different machine.
TOR is also not blocked since whonix 16 works fine in virtualbox.
However. When using Whonix 16 in vmware and setting the right static ip’s and disabling “EXIT_ON_UNSUPPORTED_VIRTUALIZER”
Whonix Gateway still does not wan’t to connect to TOR for some reason.
This worked fine with Whonix 15 and before so what changed?
I’m not sure what’s wrong here.
I noticed at least one other person having the same problem in the comment section of this youtube video

No changes were made on purpose to break it for sure but yeah, if it doesn’t work then chances to make it work without development skills are rather slim.
