So I want to run electrum inside my Whonix VM but know that to properly configure electrum with tor I need to make some adjustments. Editing my proxy server to SOCKS5 with localhost:9150 or 127.0.0.1 at the same port does not seem to work (leaving me with a red disconnected circle). Has anyone succesfully set up a torrified electrum inside whonix? Can you give me some advice?
The Whonix workstation routes traffic to the gateway, your proxy settings are fucking that up. The gateway routes all traffic through tor, so you should leave your proxy settings blank to go out through tor.
