Two question about slow speed and antivirus.

[athread4]

Hello i have two question about WHONIX.
1 - Is it normal that for exemple update for TOR have non stop 100kb-50kb/s? is this speed isn’t too slow?

2- Does it make sense and is it possible to install antyvirus for exemple Eset nod 32?

In the future, 1 question = 1 forum thread please. I.e. please open separate forum threads for separate unrelated questions.

The TOR network is currently under DDOS attack, as far as I know.

The TOR network is currently under DDOS attack, as far as I know.

For that there is this topic now:

Connection / Tor slow / DDoS Attacks against the Tor Network / Most onions timing out before loading

Almost every onion page being loaded is timing out or receiving notification that the site may be down. Also getting a notice on pages that do load that https is unavailable and/or there may be an attacker between me and the page. Is there a way to fix this as my whonix is basically unusable.
