Running the WhonixCheck from the default anon-whonix app vm in the Qubes manager list; the fail warning basically says:
SocksPort test [fails]. ... (curl exit code: [7] - [failed to connect to host]) The browser - anon-whonix app vm (default)/Tor browser - opens like normal to the Whonix page but checking the 'check IP' link from there won't connect and if I search for https://check.torproject.org the top result says I'm not using tor. I can't connect to .onion sites but surface browsing's fine. Checking the IP address keeps coming back to the same one in Germany even if I reload / change Identity / reboot. (I'm not in Germany). It persists over cold re-boots. I've tried making a new anon-whonix app vm with the same results. Everything has been fine since install - maybe 6 months ago. All updates are up to date including the recent tor browser update to 7.5 (64 bit). yzxd on the sub reddit (Thanks, yzxd) had a similar problem on non-Qubes Whonix and solved it by "going into the Gateway VM, stopping Tor, opening the folder named "Tor Data" and deleting all the files inside, and finally restarting Tor". But I see from issue #1137 the Qubes team deliberately made that persistent: https://github.com/Whonix/qubes-whonix/commit/a9f24f5d0b700a0cd710e52eb170875d635c22a9 so I'm wary to mess with that. Would that be likely to work in this instance? Or Does anyone have any ideas for a fix or would just re-installing the entire Whonix system following: https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/whonix/install/ be better...?
