Hi

take a look at : https://www.whonix.org/wiki/Whonixcheck


The CHECK VERSION section

whonixcheck --verbose --function show_versions

Hi,


did you try with sudo ?

In your pic you forgot the underscore in `show_versions`, no need for
sudo. This will not give you your Tor version. For that you have to run
`tor --version` from the gateway.

You could also just do `cat /etc/whonix_version` from the workstation or
gateway for your Whonix version. I mention it because whonixcheck
produces output you don't need.

Thanks a lot for your tips and advice, my Tor version in Qubes4.0 - Whonix is ​​0.3.2.9. Which Tor version is currently the most current and the safest? I do not know the goal is 1000% safe but which is the best and safest version currently? However, I could not figure out my Whonix version, how can I find out which Whonix version I have? And if my Tor version is not backed up at the moment, how can I upgrade this? Thank you for everything in advance. ;)

Sounds like you're on Whonix 13. That would explain why you aren't able
to easily find your version number. Another giveaway is your Tor
version. On Whonix 14 I have Tor version 0.3.4.8.

If you want to upgrade to Whonix 14 see here:

Thanks for the helpful information. I will upgrade to Whonix 14. (Completely new download and instalation).
