Better would be to copy the contents from ## /usr/share/tor/tor-service-defaults-torrc.anondist into this file. ## Unfortunately this is required until "Qubes-Whonix eth1 static networking" ## gets implemented, see: ## https://phabricator.whonix.org/T947 ## ## This is because Qubes uses dynamic local LAN IPs by default. By ## extension Qubes-Whonix internal LAN IP of virtual network interface eth1 is ## also dynamic. However, Tor needs to bind at a specific IP address. An IP ## address which needs to be written verbatim to a Tor configuration file ## before Tor starts. And Tor does not have any option to build to a network ## interface. Tor only supports binding to IP addresses. Tor also does not ## support reading the IP address into a variable or any scripting. ## Package qubes-whonix uses a dpkg trigger to modify the IP addresses written ## in file /usr/share/tor/tor-service-defaults-torrc.anondist to the current ## dynamic IP address of eth1. Having the dpkg trigger modify this file in /etc ## directly would be a bad idea since then this would falsely detected as a ## configuration file manually edited by users and users would get an ## interactive dpkg configuration file conflict resolution dialog during ## upgrade when this file is upgraded. %include /usr/share/tor/tor-service-defaults-torrc.anondist #### meta end
