I have a very weird issue. I’ve been using Whonix for some time and Tor connection works fast but then it suddenly becomes very slow. Tor restart via tor-control-panel doesn’t solve the issue until I fully shut down Gateway VM and start it again.
Is it a Tor-specific issue of Whonix specific one?
What are the specs of your PC?

Original poster didn’t report a freeze issues. Reported a networking issue.
The only chance to debug is by running the checklists to be found here:
Had same issue few times. If restarting tor does not work try a New Identity this sometimes helps.
