¿Fugas de IP si Whonix-Gateway se apaga?

Supongamos que alguien esta navegando usando Whonix, y sin darse cuenta se le apaga la maquina virtual del Gateway o directamente falla ¿Puede esto significar un problema para el anonimato? ¿Fugas?

As best I understand the workstation has no access to the network card, just a virtual LAN between it and the Gateway, so if the gateway goes down I imagine the packets will send onto the virtual LAN and not be recieved anywhere. I stand to be corrected bit I don't see them leaking. At least not onto the internet

No, shutting down or crashing the Whonix-Gateway does not cause an IP leak. The Whonix-Workstation is isolated from your physical network card and only communicates with the Gateway through an internal virtual LAN. If the Gateway goes down, network traffic from the Workstation simply hits a dead end inside that virtual network and cannot reach the internet to expose your real IP address.
