Sounds good!

Yes, that sounds sensible. Remembering previous experience with TPO, it's probably better to wait and see what it will look like eventually. I'll try to finish the current version in Whonix with the architecture defined so far. We can redesign when Tor Launcher comes with new features. I'll use the new text though, aware that that will change too, but can be easily updated.

Btw I don't think we should wait for TPO to finish revamping
tor-launcher. I wouldn't be surprised if they go back and forth changing
the interface design over the next few months. We can take it once it
stabilized. It's of course up to you. Just want to spare you from extra
work going back and forth together with them.

Some changes to come in Tor Launcher.

Yes, and it will make the wizard simpler. There is some work in https://github.com/troubadoour/whonix-setup-wizard. The discussion is continued in https://forums.whonix.org/t/whonix-setup-wizard-graphical-technical-discussion/650/202

On the design... I've slightly updated:
https://www.whonix.org/wiki/Dev/whonixsetup

Yes, let's go for anon-connection-wizard.

I am fine with the split. Sure, let's make the code simpler and maintainable.

During the bootstrap phase, the back and next buttons don't work. The next button probably would not make sense either way. And the back button, I don't know if we need it. Would fixing the back button be difficult?

Unfortunately, removing such packages is currently difficult. The technical background and workarounds are documented here:

Had some doubts about obfsproxy AppArmor lines working in system_tor profile. They don't.

Perhaps, in bridge mode, we could always add the following two options?

Merged https://github.com/Whonix/anon-gw-anonymizer-config/commit/8ff911fcdc27ec9e34a08ed4efee70ef38411d3e also.

Pushed a batch of commits.

troubadour (troubadour):

The default bridges file is in /etc/bridges for not finding a
better place. It's in json format, so it could be difficult to have a
proper .d configuration mechanism. That should not be a big issue
since the choice for custom bridges will be given.

Progress update.

Looks good.

For the Disable Tor option, implementing the "Advanced" button may satisfy everyone.

troubadour (troubadour):

Perhaps Whonix Setup Wizard -> Whonix Connection Wizard?

Yes, but we still have the disclaimer pages and the repository
wizard. I'll be able to create a new branch soon enough. Or perhaps a
new package "Whonix Connection Wizard" and a separate "Whonix
Repository Wizard" package?

Will remove it, unless someone has a strong advice against it.

I am also wondering if we need the disable Tor option. For this minority use case, wouldn't it make more sense if users disabled the (virtual) network interface then?

No. Keeping it super simple.

Do we want the Whonix logo in the wizard? I guess no.

the first page (Connect or Configure) should be a separate GUI

It can be in the wizard, and it seems a logical place where to put the Disable Tor option.

troubadour (troubadour):

I'm not sure where the disclaimer pages fit in that scheme.

Started Tor Launcher clone interface.

@goldstein Sounds great. Can't wait to see what you are working on :)

Yes, let's keep the default that most (first time) (linux) users see to the minimum. And all the advanced stuff can be burred under an "advanced settings" button. Does that sound cool? @bnvk

Its a minority use case but very important IMO for high risk users who need to avoid guard fingerprinting.

Maybe a "advanced settings" checkbox at the first page that enables the disable Tor option . This would come handy when we want to implement more stuff like Hidden Service Auth , or custom Guard / Circuit selection
@HulaHoop
How does that sound to you ?

Please keep the Disable Tor option. Its a minority use case but very important IMO for high risk users who need to avoid guard fingerprinting.

why would you disable Tor when you have just started the Whonix VM to Route your traffic trough tor ?
