…teway_allow_incoming_related_state' When running a freshly installed Whonix-Gateway (confirmed that at least 16.0.9.8 and 16.0.9.0 are affected) on a KVM host (note: with Kicksecure installed on the host), Tor gets stuck at 30% when attempting to bootstrap. When I enable the new configuration option "GATEWAY_ALLOW_INCOMING_RELATED_STATE" in file "/usr/local/etc/whonix_firewall.d/50_user.conf", this allows the connection to complete successfully every time. When I disable the "GATEWAY_ALLOW_INCOMING_RELATED_STATE" option I observe that the issue returns. I saw a suggestion on the Whonix forums (I believe from Patrick Schleizer) that this could be made into a configuration option. Rather than wasting time replying saying: "yes please I would love this", I've gone ahead and made the necessary changes myself. Tested on my end and confirmed that this is working as expected.
