Marek: > If you want, you can also disable autostart of that VM, Unless it's the Default NetVM and you don't want to assume the risks of having a non-Tor Default NetVM. @pixel fairy: existing feature request to allow `None` as Default NetVM so Autostart can be disabled: https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/2252 Marek: > most cases it will be simply more convenient (faster startup of > Whonix-related VMs). When Whonix-GW is started before upstream proxies are ready, tor bootstrapping can take approx 5 minutes. Whonix-GW finishes bootstrapping immediately on boot when all proxy vm's have already been established. It's faster to shutdown and reboot Whonix-GW than wait for it to bootstrap after an autostart.

Or other proxies in front of Whonix-GW that take time to initialize properly :) [is this something a newbie could work on? or am I asking for trouble?] -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-devel" group.
