bios time differs a lot from dom0 and dom0 time seems in the UTC (timezone), while the clock on your desktop should be therefore in the -1 hour timezone. There is already something wrong, isn't it? Could you please set the correct time in dom0 and do a 'sudo hwclock --systohw' to get dom0's sys date and bios time in sync. And reboot pls. After reboot check the time in bios, dom0 and your clockVM (probably sys-net) before connecting to any network. In System Tools -> Qubes Global Settings in dom0 you can check the name of the clock VM. The time of your whonix should, as far as I know, differs in timezone as qubes built-in rule randomly each bootup of the VM. (Do not know for sure) I either do not know whether sys-whonix only changes the timezone and if it is an attack surface if someone from the outside could simulate/fake specific minutes and seconds your network-time-daemon adapt and your whonix could be associated to your isp. Even there seems to be some misconfiguration I never got, the behavior remembers me to an empty hardware battery. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
