How to torify all traffic from the Host Operating System

Introduction

Documentation for this is incomplete. Contributions are happily considered! See this for potential alternatives.

Torification of host operating system traffic depends on which host operating system is being used.

This is mostly unsupported for now but might be possible in the future -- please contribute.

Windows

Windows: this is unlikely to be developed in the near or longer term without contributions from the Whonix^™ community.

Qubes

It is theoretically possible to torify all of Qubes' traffic, but this has not been implemented.

Based on Debian Hosts / Kicksecure^™ Hosts / Whonix-Host

This has not been implemented yet -- Kicksecure / Whonix-Host is still under development.

Related discussion: Should Whonix host be fully torified by default?
