Hello,
Background:
- I am using Tor 13.0.1 and whonix under QubesOS.
- I have already asked this question in the Whonix forum at
https://forums.whonix.org/t/tweaking-timeouts-to-get-a-connection/17467/6. Answer was that it was not Whonix Specific and that I might have better luck here to get an answer.
Now, the problem…
Most of the time, when I try to go on a specific website, I wait 90 seconds and get a timeout:
Unable to connect.
An error occurred during a connection to [Redacted Website].
…
During those 90 seconds, I noticed that a new circuit was build about every 15 seconds.
My workaround is to then CTRL-SHIFT-L every 5 seconds until I get a connection to that specific website, which can sometimes take a very long time.
Looks like that specific website drops connections initiated by many of the tor exit nodes.
Consequently, which configuration(s) should I change and where to:
- have a timout after, say, 900 seconds (instead of 90 seconds)?
- have the browser trying a new circuit to my specific website every 5 seconds (instead of every 15 seconds)?
I understand those configuration changes would imitate me hitting CTRL-SHIFT-L every 5 seconds until success.
Obviously, if you have a better actionable solution than those configuration changes, I’m all ears!
Thanks!
