Since this is a brand new installation, I was confused and started poking around.
Second, when I try to visit any website like or click on “IP check” in the Whonix home page, I get error that says:įirefox is configured to use a proxy server that is refusing connections.Ĭheck the proxy settings to make sure that they are correct.Ĭontact your network administrator to make sure the proxy server is working. The first tab is blank, the second tab is the Whonix home page (stored locally in /usr/share/ somewhere).
Upon starting the anon-whonix qube and Tor Browser, a couple of strange things happen…įirst, it always opens two tabs by default.
If you use the Tor Browser, it will automatically start a SOCKS proxy External link icon Open external link at 127.0.0.1:9150.I just installed Qubes 3.2, and I enabled Tor + Whonix Qubes at install time. The important difference between using all other modes of DNS and this one is that packet routing no longer uses IP addresses, and therefore all connections must be routed through a Tor client.īefore you start, head to the Tor Project website External link icon Open external link to download and install a Tor client. Read more about this service in this blog post External link icon Open external link. Not only does doing so prevent the resolver from ever seeing your IP address, but it also prevents your ISP from knowing that you attempted to resolve a domain name. Resolving DNS queries through the Tor network guarantees a significantly higher level of anonymity than making the requests directly. If you do not want to disclose your IP address to the resolver, you can use our Tor onion service. DNS over Tor The hidden resolver is still an experimental service and should not be used in production or for other critical uses.
