Hello everyone I can’t download software with whonix template. Specifically, I want to download Brave VPN with whonix -gw-16, whonix-ws-16. When I wrote the text “brave-browser-apt-release.s3.brave.com/brave-browser-archive-keyring.gpg”, the response was “could not resolve host”. Below is the download text. I would like some advice. Debian, Ubuntu, Mint sudo apt install curl sudo curl -fsSLo /usr/share/keyrings/brave-browser-archive-keyring.gpg https://brave-browser-apt-release.s3.brave.com/brave-browser-archive-keyring.gpg echo “deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/brave-browser-archive-keyring.gpg] https://brave-browser-apt-release.s3.brave.com/ stable main”|sudo tee / etc/apt/sources.list.d/brave-browser-release.list sudo apt update sudo apt install brave-browser

Templates don’t have normal network access by default:

You can use proxy in the template to access the network e.g. use this command in the template’s terminal:

sudo curl --proxy http://127.0.0.1:8082 -fsSLo /usr/share/keyrings/brave-browser-archive-keyring.gpg https://brave-browser-apt-release.s3.brave.com/brave-browser-archive-keyring.gpg

Also note that Whonix 16 is EOL and no longer supported, install and use Whonix 17 templates using Qubes Template Manager instead.
