[sys-whonix] Anon Connection Wizard - stuck at 10%

If I use “Anon Connection Wizard” on “Tor Bridges Config” without “I need Tor Bridges to bypass Tor censorship”, everything works.

When I use “Anon Connection Wizard” on “Tor Bridges Config” with “I need Tor Bridges to bypass Tor censorship”, with the settings on “Transport type: snowflake”
and without “Provide a bridge I know”.
stops the indicator at 10%

To fix it, I restarted my system 3 times
I once received a time out error

If Tor could successfully connect without a bridge (or using obfs4 or meek bridges), it could be used that way in most scenarios without any issues. Snowflake bridges require STUNs and brokers. If you are in a country which restricts internet access, they would try to mess with as many STUN and TURN servers as possible, preventing WebRTC’s ICE negotiation and NAT traversal. A successful NAT traversal & Tor circuit can not be established in that case. Special config might be necessary in those cases.

Such issues are not Qubes Specific and you might find better answered in Whonix Forums.
