wouldnt this way be User -> TOR -> VPN -> Internet? Sorry if it was a bit
confusing my explanation of the setup. maybe this is better explained.
whonix-ws -->Whonix-gw---->sys-vm------>sys-firewall
Internet VPN
Internet(NETVM=vpn-sys-whonix)---->vpn-sys-whonix(NETVM=sys-vm)----->sys-vm
(NETVM=sys-firewall)
(whonix-ws template)
(whonix-gw template) (fedora-29-vpn template)

I can try this method see the difference.

Yes I can switch over to debian and see if that fixes the problem aswell.
