Tor and Latency Tests

[james55 0]

Hi,
I am running Eddie on an Ubuntu vm with a connection to a Whonix Gateway vm which is where the connection to tor is coming from.
I can connect to servers fine and and get good download speeds but there is no info in the latency column. 
I'm assuming this is because of eddie is using ping to check latency and UDP is dropped over tor so it cannot do this.
I know the page on tor (https://airvpn.org/tor/) recommends to configure the connection mode as tor in eddie's preferences but I'm trying to keep this as simple as possible.

Is it expected that the latency column won't populate under my setup?
If I managed to configure eddie to use the socks port and control port on the Whonix Gateway would that give me latency data?

Thanks
