UnstoppableSwaps GUI and whonix

It seems that UnstoppableSwaps GUI tries to run tor over tor, which typically does not work. Can we redirect it to existing sys-whonix tor?

That’s difficult. Similar situation happened here:

Unless contributed by developers, this won’t happen.

Until then:

Feature request: Bring back the Tor toggle in settings

opened 12:01AM - 02 Feb 25 UTC

In past versions there was a toggle in the settings to disable Tor routing. This… is necessary to be able to use it on any OS that already forces all networking through Tor (such as Tails and Whonix, arguably the most anonymous OS choice available today). I suggest that this toggle is re-instated, with clear warnings that Tor shouldn't be disabled unless using the Tails or Whonix operating system. Ideal behavior would be for the app to recognize when it's installed in Tails/Whonix workstation, and automatically disable the Tor toggle such that the user doesn't have to go searching for it upon a connectivity error.
