I’d assume Whonix is a semi-popular DDOS attack target for spooks paid by your tax dollars to frustrate people trying to uphold their inalienable right to privacy. See:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denial-of-service_attack
Note that onion services are not immune either, which is why when whonix.org is non-responsive, so is kkkkkkkkkk63ava6.onion usually. See:
https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/24298
This seems to happen every few weeks. If it is a server-based issue, I’m sure @fortasse would know about it.
This was actually a downtime that our datacenter caused. It was outside our control, and as far as I know, unrelated to DDoS. It was just a configuration mistake.
