Yes, exactly the same here, commenting out allows update but I've been noticing these DDG .onion resets for maybe a week or more .... and just last few days , maybe because I haven't rebooted the AppVM for a while the warning about activity "being linked" .... two other things: 1) the Qube manager despite sucessfully updates, the green arrow to need update persists , even after restarting the Q manager and 2) update-torbrowser gives a scary warning in whonix-ws-14 to override it two options , I haven't tried either .. btw, this is all in Q4.0 with the latest dom0 patches , most recent just a few days ago ..... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
