Hello, I installed Ubuntu via whonix oracle virtual box and created a localhost onion site using nginx in it. My onion site was working fine until I configured the whonix gateway. By manually changing the IPv4 part, the address was 10.152.152.3, the netmask part was 255.255.192.0, and the gateway part was 10.152.152.1. I changed the DNS section to 10.152.152.10. But after that, my onion site stopped working. In the torrc file, HiddenServiceDir /var/lib/tor/hidden_service3/ I have a port as HiddenServicePort 80 127.0.0.1:82. Could it be related to this port? Maybe I should have written 10.152.152.1 instead of 127.0.0.1. I tried this but it didn't work. I don't know much about this. So I might be talking nonsense. It's important for me. I would appreciate it if you could help me. Thank you in advance.

I'm using Whonix, and I've been doing some work on using Tor and anonymity, but I get this error.

(This is what my screen looks like when I open Workstatin. WHAT SHOULD I DO?)

I'm running a few VMs which rely on TOR, however I want to be able to configure my Whonix gateway to use the fastest TOR circuits possible.

If not, how can I select custom TOR circuits for my Whonix gateway VM?

Whonix

Could someone explain to me how Whonix works? I'm hosting whonix in a VM, and this is the second time that my antivirus has detected a suspicious website, (even though I'm not accessing anything). Can anyone tell me if this is normal?

• I downloaded whonix and virtualbox from the official website 2 days ago.

• Antivirus: Bitdefender

Hey, I'm currently having issues with booting Whonix into live mode. For some reason it keeps telling me to change the disk to read-only. I've searched nearly everywhere how to do it and have found nothing. One thing I did try to do was set the disk to immutable and , well, when I did that nothing happened, it still tells me to set the disk as read-only. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

What’s the correct way to go about wanting to wipe the previous workstation i used? Can I just install whonix again and just move a new workstation and keep the old gateway or what?

Hello

Does anyone know how to fix this issue:

Installed whonix on Intel Mac Boot up gateway Boot up workstation Get a blinking underscore and black screen instead of gui

Any help is appreciated

I have 2 computers with 4 Gb and 2 Gb of RAM respectively, I can't Run Whonix in one of them since it requires more RAM, but is there a way/technique/tutorial that shows if it's possible to install only the workstation in one computer and use the other computer as the gateway ? How can we configure this ?

So, I have a VPN and I also have Whonix. I typically run a Windows host machine with a Linux guest on a virtual machine.

Now, I have used a service online that typically limits usage based on your IP address. You can use a VPN like Express VPN with limited success as a workaround. (It works for a bit, but then the website in question catches on and bans your IP.)

So ... I tried to do the same thing with Whonix without using the VPN and the website in question identified my IP immediately.

This makes me question the supposed anonymity offered by Whonix.

Has anyone else experienced this? And what does this say about the privacy claims of Whonix?

I installed the latest update on the Whonix VM and the option to choose live mode on grub is gone now.

I did read about this project and it seems great, it has the gateway/workstation system advantages + it has the advantages of Tails OS when it comes to anti forensic (amnestic) (please correct me if wrong)

I just wanted to know wether it does only run on the RAM as tails OS does ?

Is Tails OS closer to the live boot or the ISO Whonix Host ?

And also I have one more question, what's the difference between a live ISO on a USB (https://www.whonix.org/wiki/Whonix-Host) and a live boot running on a USB (https://www.whonix.org/wiki/Live_Mode) ?

Is there anyway to install whonix kvm on an arm device?

Hello, 4-5 month ago there was no problem to regist. Now i am getting endless captha.

I'm new to Whonix, but not to anything else (I've used Tor, Tails, etc, for years)

I'll make this quick:

1. When booting both the gateway and the workstation in live mode, my Tor settings persist between sessions. For example I installed uBlock origin, and the next time I booted live mode it was still there. Why wasn't it wiped?
2. It is suggested to make VBox read only, how do I do that? (The online pages have not been very helpful)
3. If I were to use persistent mode, where are the logs/files saved? I know this is advanced but what would I have to do to remove any traces of my use of Whonix persistent mode (obviously not because there is incriminating data, I've used Whonix for less than an hour)?

I greatly appreciate all help!

I want to use whonix gateway for another vm rather than whonix workstation on kvm. whonix workstation uses Virtual network 'Whonix-Internal': Isolated network for its virtual network interface but when I use Virtual network 'Whonix-Internal': Isolated network for any vm I don't have any internet connection. Why does the Virtual network 'Whonix-Internal': Isolated network network source work for whonix workstation but not for any other vm?

Is my Ip hidden when i using whonix + chromium I znów that my ,,internet touch id" is morę safet when i use tor browser , but i need to get info about anonymouse in chromium

Sorry for my english, Hope u understand it

Hey Am i anonymous using system whonix on virtual box whit chromium browser?

I understand that it is safe resulution, but when I'm using whonix whit TOR browser I'm 2x more anonymous? Do I think rights?

I don’t know how but I forgot my root password for Whonix and was trying to install an Update is there anyway I figure it out and if not is there anyway I can properly move all of my PW in time in case I have to make a whole new VB

Complete noob here, I have whonix running in virtualbox (host os: Ubuntu). Is it safe for me to install and use KeePassXC on the gateway?

So, first time whonix user (virt-manager qemu-kvm) after running upgrade-nonroot in the whonix-gateway it is generating the locales. I know it literally says "this might take a while" but it's been three hours now, is this normal behaviour or should I forcibly shutdown the vm and start over?

EDIT: I started over and everything worked fine

I used whonix virtualbox on an ssd running arch with noveau drivers in the past. My system broke and now i am using whonix in manjaro and store the vm on a internal hard drive outside the main ssd running manjaro. I also now have nvidia drivers. Opening and using normal apps within whonix is fine, but the web browser is unbelievably slow and the boot takes forever. Any ideas?

Edit: i also tried running the vm on the same ssd as the host and it didnt help at all

hello

I am a bit lost in the whonix docs.

What is the correct procedure to morph a plain Debian into a whonix-gw/wks ?

​

Hello friends. I am using a Windows 11 host machine, where I installed VirtualBox, and on VirtualBox I installed a Whonix virtual machine. I installed the Whonix VM with the aim of being able to access the internet more privately in a separate environment.

In VirtualBox's Whonix VM I configured disk encryption, so that I am prompted for a password when the Whonix VM starts. However, I would like to know if there is a way to configure Whonix so that it locks the screen with a password request after x minutes of inactivity.

Researching I read that this would not be a very effective approach, because if someone with enough knowledge takes control of the Host machine, a lock screen on the VM would not prevent them from taking over the Whonix VM.

However, at the moment I'm thinking about a simpler scenario. Not hackers taking over the Host machine, but just a scenario where I want other people in my house to be able to use my Windows 11 Host, but not my Whonix VM if it has been left open and inactive.

Is there any way to configure this?
