Whonix "VPN only" mode

[rob75]

Can Whonix be used in a “VPN only mode”? Where Whonix acts as a gateway, as it normally does, but only routes traffic through the VPN?

Can Whonix chain multiple VPNs together?

What would the purpose of this be? Faster connections, and not abusing the Tor network for torrent traffic.

Unsupported.

Undocumented, Untested or Unsupported Features

user → VPN → Tor → VPN is easily doable. Otherwise, unsupported.

Yeah. Would be cool. Bits:

• Dev/Inspiration - Whonix
• GitHub - adrelanos/vpn-firewall: Leak Protection (Fail Safe Mechanism) for (Open)VPN

Qubes VMs can be configured as VPN-Gateways and I guess these can also be chained.
