Curl Clearnet Connectivity Test from Whonix-Gateway[edit]
Warning: Not anonymous!
At time of writing IP 116.202.120.181 is check.torproject.org.
Using IP (116.202.120.181) rather than DNS (check.torproject.org) is requried since Whonix-Gateway does not have a global DNS resolver enabled by default for its own traffic (details on page Whonix-Gateway System DNS).
sudo -u clearnet UWT_DEV_PASSTHROUGH=1 curl --silent --tlsv1.3 --header 'Host: check.torproject.org' --insecure https://116.202.120.181

Warning: Not anonymous!
Qubes specific!
1) Inside sys-whonix: Unload Whonix Firewal.
2) Inside sys-whonix: Check.
sudo iptables --list
Should show.
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination
3) Inside any other VM, any non-Tor VM that has functional internet: Figure out its /etc/resolv.conf settings.
cat /etc/resolv.conf
4) Inside sys-whonix: Delete /etc/resolv.conf.
sudo rm /etc/resolv.conf
5) Inside sys-whonix: Use the same settings from the non-Tor VM.
Open file /etc/resolv.conf in an editor with root rights.
Non-Qubes-Whonix
This box uses sudoedit for better security.
Others and Alternatives
- This is just an example. Other tools could achieve the same goal.
- If this example does not work for you or if you are not using Whonix, please refer to this link.
sudoedit /etc/resolv.conf
6) Inside sys-whonix: Deactivate all uwt wrappers globally.
The following instructions permanently deactivate all uwt wrappers and remove stream isolation for uwt-wrapped applications system-wide. Consequently, all uwt-wrapped applications revert to the default system networking configuration.
For more granular control of uwt wrapper deactivation, see: Deactivate uwt Stream Isolation Wrapper.
