whonixcheck --clearnet connectivity test
Open, NormalPublic

Description

To debug connectivity issues for users claiming to live in uncensored areas a --clearnet switch might be helpful for whonixcheck.

It would only run on Whonix-Gateway and be run under user clearnet. Command here:
https://www.whonix.org/wiki/Troubleshooting#Clearnet_Connectivity_Test

Obviously won't ever auto run on regular invocations of systemcheck.

Might be fingerprintable. Users running that command might be revealed as Whonix users. Unless we find a test method that does not reveal one being a Whonix user.

Can still discuss if this is a good idea at all.
