Tor opens up but doesn’t work. Internet is working on the host. Tor is updated
and working on the host as well. This error is persitent and has prevented use of the
web in Whonix.
It worked until yesterday and yesterday you started making changes related to proxies?
If so, I would assume user error. Changed some settings that are not supposed to be changed. (The old bridged vs nat discussion. [Security Guide - Whonix]) Import a fresh Whonix-Gateway and or Whonix-Workstation.
Maybe I’m being too picky here, but while warnings aren’t supposed to tell the user that something goes very wrong, that red color is scary, Red is the color of errors. Perhaps the color of warnings should be yellow?[/quote]
Moved here:
“…To do that, go to your Whonix-Workstation and add the proxy, SSH or VPN normally, just like you
would do, if you wouldn’t use the Whonix-Gateway…”
“…using proxy settings in Whonix there is no difference from using proxy settings in an ordinary way…”
“…using a Proxyfier in Whonix there is no difference from using a Proxyfier in an ordinary way…”
What IS the “ordinary way”?. I have never used proxies before so where in the docs does it clearly state
the steps and order needed to be taken to configure whonix to use a Socks5 proxy?
I need you to tell me what to do just as you did here:
[size=24pt]"[/size]You need root rights to do this.
Start Menu → Applications → Settings → /etc/tor/torrc
“ordinary way” - Imagine Whonix wouldn’t exist. How you would do it then (on Debian/Linux). You would end up on search engines, various documentation perhaps TorifyHOWTO · Wiki · Legacy / Trac · GitLab. These “ordinary” instructions apply.
Can’t provide better instructions at this time. It’s a known issue.
[font=Verdana][size=2px]"ordinary way" - Imagine Whonix wouldn't exist. How you would do it then (on Debian/Linux). [/size][/font]
Debian is over 21 years. There are far more resources online. So yes, search engines would be the way to go.
Whonix on the other hand is still quite young.
There’s no question that you’ve done a wonderful thing here with Whonix and what’s even more impresive
is how you keep up with all support issues accross the web(no only on this forum). But I’m just asking
for help. Nothing more. If you insist that I study like I got examinations to sit for, then I will.
