For testing purposes id like to route the traffic of the kicksecure virtual machine traffic trough the whonix gateway.
In all other VMs i change the ipv4 to manual
address: 10.152.152.12 Netmask:255.255.192.0 Gateway: 10.152.152.10 DNS: 10.152.152.10
And it works just fine, however when i do the same in a kicksecure VM…crickets.
What am i doing wrong my duck search didnt provide any workarounds.
Kicksecure at time of writing uses NetworkManger.
Not ifupdown. Therefore not file /etc/network/interfaces.
Confirm your network settings.
sudo ifconfig
Thank you one “small” problem the kicksecure doesnt want to update when im on tor for some reason. I have internet connection i can enter sites and download stuff in terminal but when i try to update it displays errors. Works fine when i set it back to NAT but when im on whonix it spits this:

There might be an issue with Tor inside your Kicksecure.
Tor over Tor is to be avoided anyhow.
You could follow “Kicksecure documentation for Update without Tor”, but your updates would still be over Tor, if routed through Whonix-Gateway. But you’d avoid the nested Tor over Tor issue.
