Whonix-Gateway not connecting to Tor after fresh install

Hey everyone,

I just set up Whonix using VirtualBox & ran into an issue right after install—my Whonix-Gateway won’t connect to Tor. It just sits there saying connecting & eventually gives up. I followed the installation guide step by step, did not change anything fancy & Also i have double-checked that the Gateway VM is using NAT for networking.

Also I have tried restarting everything, made sure the system time is accurate & even re-downloaded the Gateway image in case it was a fluke. Still no dice. The Workstation VM obviously can not get online either since the Gateway’s stuck.

if anyone else has seen this ? Could there be an issue with the Tor config, or something I need to tweak manually?

Thank you.:slight_smile:
