wiki: Dev/Design-Gateway - questions.

rAntOCauDgb:

Network Configuration

“DNS and other traffic from the Workstation gets forced by the firewall to use the anonymity network.”

``- which firewall, workstation’s or gateway’s?

The gateway’s.

“Shared page in chapter “about package manager”.”

``- can’t find the referenced chapter by that name. Could ‘package manager’ above be made into a link, please?

Firewall

“Add a firewall, which only allows traffic the anonymizer to connect to the internet.”

``- Huh? “Which denies internet access to any Workstation traffic not going through the anonymizer.”? | “Which only permits traffic going through the anonymizer to reach the internet.”?

Add a firewall, which only permits traffic of the anonymizer to reach
the internet.

"

``- links broken. (And I don’t know git well enough to find/fix them.)

Please clone whole Whonix. As per some recent enough build documentation
instructions. At time of writing:
https://www.whonix.org/wiki/Dev/Build_Documentation/11_full#Get_the_Source_Code

find . | grep whonix_firewall

./packages/whonix-gw-firewall indicates
https://github.com/Whonix/whonix-gw-firewall. From there you can click
on github on usr, then on bin, then on whonix_firewall to get the full link.

https://github.com/Whonix/whonix-gw-firewall/blob/master/usr/bin/whonix_firewall

https://github.com/Whonix/whonix-gw-firewall/blob/master/etc/whonix_firewall.d

``- True for all other github links as well.

Help file

I won’t get to rework this anytime soon.

“User can type “whonix”.”

``- Perhaps a desktop icon (‘Quick Whonix Help’) running this would be useful. I had not tracked the presence of this command, and (D’OH!) seeing it now … I very much wish I had.

There is a Whonix documentation link already in the start menu [and on
the desktop for Non-Qubes-Whonix] that links to
Whonix Documentation.

Typing “whonix” is not that useful at the moment anyhow. And more for
the geeks. Too confusing to making it more accessible.
