You don't say why you weren't able to get it working, or what steps you took to troubleshoot the problem. I can confirm that it works fine on a standard Debian appVM. >From your reference to whonix, I suspect that that is your problem. I don't use whonix so cant check this but I believe that onionshare relies on access to a tor control port opened with Tor Browser. I think that the whonix design would preclude this. You can try with a normal qube connected to sys-firewall. You can't use the normal qubes torVM because that doesn't have the control port open, but with some minor modifications you can fix this, and then try to run onionshare there. I don't believe there are any "safety" issues. unman -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
