Redirect Whonix-Workstation Ports or Unix Domain Socket Files to Whonix-Gateway
Introduction[edit]
Socket redirection could be useful for any future applications that expect Tor or the ControlPort to listen on any specific port or unix domain socket file that is not (yet) added to anon-ws-disable-stacked-tor config by default, or for any other port or unix domain socket file redirections from the workstation to the gateway.
Instructions[edit]
Create and extend config file /etc/anon-ws-disable-stacked-tor.d/50_user.conf. [1]
Create folder /usr/local/etc/anon-ws-disable-stacked-tor.d/.
sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/etc/anon-ws-disable-stacked-tor.d
Open /usr/local/etc/anon-ws-disable-stacked-tor.d/50_user.conf in an editor with root rights.
If you are using a graphical Whonix or Qubes-Whonix ™ with KDE, run.
kdesudo kwrite /usr/local/etc/anon-ws-disable-stacked-tor.d/50_user.conf
If you are using a graphical Whonix or Qubes-Whonix ™ with XFCE, run.
kdesudo mousepad /usr/local/etc/anon-ws-disable-stacked-tor.d/50_user.conf
If you are using a terminal-only Whonix, run.
sudo nano /usr/local/etc/anon-ws-disable-stacked-tor.d/50_user.conf
Then either add a port redirection.
For example to redirect Whonix-Workstation ™ port 9100 to Whonix-Gateway ™ port 9050. Note: adjust the port numbers for your needs.
file_port_tuples+=" port#9100:9050 "
Or create a unix domain socket file and have it forwarded to Whonix-Gateway ™ port 9050.
file_port_tuples+=" /var/run/anon-ws-disable-stacked-tor/unix-domain-socket-file.sock#9050 "
Save.
Run the systemd-socket-proxyd systemd-unit-files-generator.
sudo /usr/share/anon-ws-disable-stacked-tor/systemd-unit-files-generator
The process of creating a redirection is now complete.
