Wait, what are we talking about? I thought you were asking about "New Tor Circuit for this Site". Do you need help torrifying Thunderbird? If you are using Thunderbird in a non-whonix-workstation VM, you can install the TorBirdy extension and point it to your sys-whonix IP and Port 9102. Thunderbird is installed and torrified by default in anon-whonix already. You can use anon-whonix, clone it, make a new appVM based on whonix-ws, whatever fits your needs. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
