In most cases, there’s not an additional risk by using a VM. If your adversary has a VM escape they could potentially exploit the host OS. If you’re that important QubesOS may be a better option for you. That said you’re harming performance without many security gains.

As for a relay, can you be more specific. Are you hosting a Tor Exit in your home?

Cordially,

Sorry Nathaniel, my english is not so well.

General I`m using Virtual operating system + Tor Web Browser to browse the internet.
My question is, is it secure ?

Second question, is it make sense to run relay on the virtual system ?

A bit confused. Are you running a Tor Exit or the Tor Browser Bundle?

Hi,

is it secure to run Tor Relay / Tor browser on Vmware ?
On my Windows 10 desktop I have installed VMware Player where is running Ubuntu. I`m using that system to browse internet using Tor Browser.
Is it secure to use Tor browser on virtual systems ?

Cheers
