Someone could tell me why in the default qubes VM manager don't tourn on whomix ws and whonix gw?
I mean only sys whonix is tourned on so could be a security tread? Should I tourn in those 2 whonix gw and whonix ws? Or I have to let them off?
So sorry about my question I'm not expert. From what I read the gw and the ws are either essentials for the whonix environment.

Someone could tel pleas to me why both the gw and the ws they are tourned off by default?
Touring on those two will the security been encreased? Or I have to left them off and use only the sys whonix?
Confusionnnnnnnnn

(Sorry about English)
