changes the time locally, but hwclock returns the same time entry as before setting it with date. Also, the time I set is reset on each reboot (both on the gateway and workstation)(I’m running whonix in VirtualBox on a Win7 host machine).
Another thing worth mentioning is that a few days ago I made a dual
boot setup (debian/win7) and booted in debian. I also disabled the UEFI
boot option in BIOS in order to be able to boot from a USB stick and
install debian.
I’ve run into a very weird issue. I have a dual boot setup debian/win7. On the host machines the latest tor browser bundle (I am using the latest stable version (I’ve downloaded it Today)) is unable to connect. It displays a message Loading network status and hangs there. Bellow is the complete output:
Strangely, in one of my virtual machines I’m running an older version of tor that is able to connect. I am behind a NAT on a wireless device. I am also running the browser on a wired machine which is also able to connect. Does tor look at the network interface type? This happens with recent versions of tor.
