hi there , as usual freezing sessions showing up with me , i think (not 100% sure) i have found the reason. the reason that i think causing the whonix workstation timesync and/or whonixcheck to be freezed is:-
i have passworded the whonix workstation (which mean u cant make whonix work without a login user&pass). at this time the whonix workstation timesync and whonixcheck r going to run. (even if i didnt log in to the system).
like this i mean:-
after they finished from running , i login then they r going to run again (because the system think that they didnt run before) so here we have the freeze time.
image:-
in summary way:-
1- make a password to the workstation (which mean the system cant startup without the login)
2- DONT login directly when whonix asking u to login (which mean after the system loaded)
3- wait for 15 - 30 min (which is in my case)
4- then login = freeze going to be there
note:- dont repeat that twice, because once the timesync freezed when u restart the whonix workstation its going to work normally.
