Hi,
I've been trying to figure this one out... I want to be sure that EVERYTHING from the guest goes through Tor, so I've been trying to configure a proxy for that... without any luck.
I just can't find anywhere to write proxy-settings in the GUI. Do I have to write this in some configure-file manually or something?
Any help would be appreciated o(^_^)o

Re: Configuring VirtualBox to send network traffic through Tor
Just think about it like this: what would you do to make your Host communicate through Tor only? Exactly, you install software on the system and let everything talk to that. Same for the Guest, you can't capture it's traffic and redirect it, it needs to be done from within the VM.

Proxifier with Tor should do just that.

Re: Configuring VirtualBox to send network traffic through Tor
In what way is this a pity? You can certainly do it, but you do not configure it through VirtualBox. This sort of thing is quite transparent to VirtualBox, so there is no way to do it through the network settings in VirtualBox.
If you set networking to bridged mode, the vm looks just like another machine on the network to the networking software. If you configure Tor in the guest OS, your vm networking should operate just as it would on a pysical machine. If you want Tor on both host and guest you need to install Tor in both OSs. As Sasquatch said, you have to consider the guest as a separate machine, not part of the host.
