Whonix already prevents tor over tor connections. > When we use Whonix-Gateway we have one TOR connection (3 onion connections), but when we use TOR browser (in any OS) we have second TOR connection (which means that now we have already 6 onions).

On official site of Tor project I found a mention only in this way: There is always a possibility that your Tor connection would use the initial Tor connections guard as an exit, introduction point, rendezvous point, or in some other way interact with your own guard in such a way that it would be using a single relay for ingress and egress.

When we use Whonix-Gateway we have one TOR connection (3 onion connections), but when we use TOR browser (in any OS) we have second TOR connection (which means that now we have already 6 onions). Qubes contains the basis of Whonix Workstation logic in all OS.

Whonix recommends this, but nothing to tell about Qubes Whonix. > browser, so if you're using tor with firefox and not tor browser it's > But whonix recommends to use a whonix-ws based appVM with tor browser > to sys-whonix, and all connections will go through tor.
