This is a good question.

Tor by default doesn't work on the level of network interfaces, it works 
on proxy level: SOCKS proxy and Trans proxy. Part of the reason why it 
was made this way is that it doesn't support UDP, or any other protocol 
except TCP.

However, there is the Whonix gateway (https://www.whonix.org/) that you 
can run as a virtual machine, and you can connect any other OS running 
in another VM to it. This will be very close to what you have asked: it 
will work as a tor filter for that OS. But any programs depending on UDP 
(like skype) will not work.
