How can I configure VirtualBox to route all network access of a guest OS through TOR? My host system is running Linux, and I've already set up TOR on it.

What is the host operating system? Have you already set up TOR on it? – Gilles Jul 6 '12 at 23:01
The host system is Linux and tor is set up and running fine on it. – brent Jul 7 '12 at 0:24

What you're describing is a tor middlebox. There seems to already be documentation on how to do this.

This might be different depending on what network manager you use.

Thank you, that seems to be what I was looking for. But what happens to the upd traffic from the vm? Is it just discarded? – brent Jul 7 '12 at 16:27
Umm, you'll have to ask somebody else about that. I don't have that much experience with tor. – Zhehao Mao Jul 8 '12 at 1:54
