Looks all good and quite in Whonix 15.0.1.5.1.

We don't use this tracker for new feature requests anymore either as per:

It is important to understand, that systemD is actually much more than simply an init system:

Shipping kloak in Whonix stable for a few releases already.

After running a bunch of tcp ping tests, the conclusion is this attack
is not really effective against TCP like ICMP. The latency is much lower
for TCP pings and though it slightly decreases with cpu stress it is not
consistent. Reloading pages in TBB with cpu stress
on/off does not impact latency readings while doing so with tc
attached has massive latency foot prints - implying it will ironically make such attacks much easier in addition to degrading performance.

Cyrus recommends adding delays per packet to disrupt inter-packet patterns that remain. The command can be fine tuned as such:

The good news is I think I've figured out the equivalent tc-netem command looking the slot parameter in the manual:

Building on anything other than Debian buster is unsupported.

Did you set ClientOnionAuthDir in torrc (to a directory with "private
enough" permissions)?

A few more questions:

Btw, Devuan is almost the same Debian with systemD removed from it.
Devuan even uses the same Debian binary repository with a few substitutions/replacements by its own Devuan packages just to eliminate nasty systemD.

I guess it shall not be any harder to port Whonix to Devuan than porting it to original Debian.

There's no manual.

Thanks for the report.

More useful information from my tests: When I setup obfs4 using the Anon-Connection-Wizard the previous obfs4 that I used worked fine. Unfortunately I can't setup snowflake from it.

Don't know if this is indicative of anything but after I add -log snowflake-client.log -log-to-state-dir at the end of the ClientTransportPlugin snowflake line in /usr/local/etc/torrc.d/50_user.conf I obtain the following error:

What Tor related apps are broken without support for this?

Alternative to github.com now needed.

Maybe this is bound per connection similar to ephemeral Tor onion services? In that case, other VMs couldn't re-use it.

Update Tor to 0.4.3.5

Ticket above closed and convo moved to tails-dev.

The The news report [1] link is nowadays broken. It redirects to another page.

Indeed. The rest is tracked under component Whonix-Host.

Should we close this ticket since Whonix-Host is precisely a "usb stick with whonix installed and ready to boot", already available as an ISO image, even if still in early stage?

More points that should be removed:
