ich have a problem with my new whonix 14 XFCE installation on Virtual Box on Ubuntu. I am running Whonix 13 without any problems with a Bridged Adapter. But now, with the same settings, whonix 14 XFCE gets no connection.
I set the following Settings:
Network on Whonix Gateway:
Adapter 1 -> Attached to: Bridged Adapter
Promiscuous Mode: Deny
I put the generated Mac Adress into my device list in the network router.
For Whonix Workstation I did the same things and put the generated Mac Adress into my device list in the network router too.
I am running the same settings as on Whonix 13 and Whonix 13 runs perfect with this, but Whonix 14 does not.
Do not change Whonix-Gateway’s first or second network interface to a bridged network. This is untested and should not be necessary. Users who feel it is necessary in their circumstances should get in contact.
For further interest, here is a discussion thread, and another one, debating whether NAT or a bridged network is more secure.
In my case it is required, because my Host OS is Ubuntu 18 and i block all internet connections from Host. So in this case, whonix 14 gets no connection. Thats why i want to use Bridged Adapter so that whonix is not connecting over the Host and is directly going out over bridged Adapter.
