Security Changes to default settings and update whonix a new user

What should a new user change in their default qubes os to make it more secure. Also, I have a problem that it says that my tor is not up to date how do I update that? I updated the browser of course but it still says that.

Qubes Update whonix-ws-18

If that doesnt fix it, start whonix-ws-18 template and run the tor updater/downloader

It’s not the browser in the ws but tor in sys-whonix

Or would that help because my gateway template and workstation template are 17

Tor 0.4.8.14(obsolete) is what nyx says in my sys-whonix

Sys-whonix is whonix gw, is that updated ?

I assume you have Qubes Update all the qubes, including dom0 ?

It’s at 17, I’ll update to 18 and check again. Thanks for the help!

I wouldnt recommend that

The issue will persist

I recommend not messing with whonix much, everytime i do it, it turns into a project. Also upgrading 17 to 18 is not trivial. You will need to update to qubes 4.3 at some point and that will get you 18

Oh, Thank you! I will read the forums and see if there’s a fix.
