Awesome, the Transport Layer, right?  But couldn't things on the 
Application Layer be filtered through Tor before they make it to the 
Network Layer?  Isn't that what's happening with things like Orbot?  
Aren't applications proxied using SOCKS or HTTP, essentially having Tor 
filter things before being passed over a network?

Is there any risk to this [Whonix on a VM] like with Tails, or is Whonix 
built to function this way?

Awesome, thanks for being so cool : )
