Refer to the Multiple Whonix-Workstation ™ wiki chapter for further instructions. To circumvent this possibility, only use this Whonix-Workstation ™ for particular applications that should be routed through the tunnel-link. This may be undesirable as explained below for example, it increases the threat of identity correlation. Reading the Tunnels/Introduction wiki page beforehand is advice to learn more if using a VPN with Whonix is useful or harmful.īy design, a VPN routes all your applications - those without any proxy settings - through the VPN. Whonix users have the option to use a VPN but in most cases it's not needed and there are other alternatives.
