Thank you! Would you mind adding that to the whonix pages? Maybe with two changes (reason: If someone is able to really render his whonix unusable in a way that it won't connect to Tor anymore he should be considered foolish [as in "you don't mess with security devices and much less with safety devices you do not understand or you're obviously an idiot" -- about page three of an introductory course to process automation I'm currently reading]. Point 1 and 2 are meant to salvage the modifications to the actual running whonix and this must not be considered trustworthy/safe anymore (I won't guess what happened before it stopped working). So I made this genius remove them completely and reinstall them using qubesctl. You might at least hint at the fact that "if you don't know what you modified you should throw it away".
