Fresh install of qubes creates few DVMs. If I remember properly, one
is based on a Fedora template and one is based on Whonix template.
Mine is already adjusted so I don't remember what is the preset.

For this case,

- - open the Firefox in the Fedora-30-dvm and connect directly to the
clearnet like you usually do in Tails with unsafe browser.
- - open Tor Browser in the whonix-15-dvm and try IP Check if all works
well (it should).

Some of such connections like the one at McDs also have time limit for
connection, like 2 hours. If you used to use Tails, you will most
probably like to have your MAC address anonymized in Qubes too, as per
this guide
http://qubesosfasa4zl44o4tws22di6kepyzfeqv3tg4e3ztknltfxqrymdad.onion/do
c/anonymizing-your-mac-address/
Based on your MAC changer settings, you can just restart the
connection or sys- VMs and appear like a new user to continue your work.

If you are limited by time in the parking place you should most
probably consider to use something like this:
https://www.thinkpenguin.com/gnu-linux/penguin-wireless-n-usb-adapter-w-
external-antenna-gnu-linux-tpe-n150usbl
to increase the range of your wifi card and limit your exposure to the
place where you connect to the net. With 9dBi antenna you can get to
about 800m range and add an another level to your anonymity.

Fly safe!

Let us know if it works for you.
