I’m using Whonix Gateway with multiple custom workstations to proxy traffic via Tor - around 5 clients at once, each with different IP address and such. After some time, let’s say 24 hours, I can no longer resolve DNS on the workstations until I restart Tor on Whonix-Gateway. Normal traffic still works fine. What could be the issue?

Are you sure it’s only DNS requests and not also TCP? How did you test that?

Existing long-running connections still work and I can still make new connections, as long as I don’t use hostnames, only IP addresses.
This happens both on Linux and Windows workstations. I’m also not doing anything crazy like sending 1000 DNS requests per second that would trigger something.

Please try:
-
- Command Line Connectivity Test to confirm that really TCP is functional but only DNS is broken.
-
- Something might be changing the firewall rules. To verify firewall rules remain unchanged, please refer to wiki chapter Ensuring nftables Rules Remain Unchanged.
Try other steps mentioned here:
