Hi folks,

If I'm using the Whonix Gateway guest, and I have it as a ProxyVM, is it safe to assume that if I use a normal AppVM, (non-whonix) behind it, then that means that everything is still going through the Tor network?

(Just wanting to make 100% sure)

Sincerely,
Drew.

Drew, I know you only concern yourself with the most complex, technical details; but every once in a while, you should come see how us small-minded, non-dev "little people" live:

Google "Whonix"

https://www.whonix.org/wiki/

https://www.whonix.org/wiki/Documentation

BTW, all 20 of the questions in your qubes-devel thread (which incidentally has nothing to do with qubes-devel) are also answered in the docs.

I'm sorry, I don't easily understand lamens terms. It's a downfall of mine that I know about and I do work on, every day.

Yes I searched it on the whonix website.

Yes I searched elsewhere.

As I said I wanted to be "100%" sure.
So I wanted someone that knew and had every test done already to know if everything really did go through Tor OR whether there were things that didn't.
And I mean ANYTHING.

Well, IF they are ALL answered in the docs, then why isn't the information that I require there?
I did search the documents first. read EVERY page that had the word "Whonix" or "Qubes-TorVM"(and similar) in it.
And the answers to my questions are not there.
If the answers were there, then I would not have asked them in Qubes-Devel. It's that simple.
