No, tor doesn't filter anything. Tor is rather like router. It routes 
your traffic through the network of its own, and helps make you 
anonymous in your activities on the net.

Whonix gateway is built to pipe network traffic from OS in VM into the 
tor network. So the whole OS is on tor this way. I thought that's what 
you was asking.
