I did not mean Windows mobile devices, I'm talking about PC Windows 10 OS.

Does it have to be VirtualBox? The W10 PC OS has the HyperV which is where
the VMs run. Is not HyperV useful?
I searched and saw that VirtualBox also runs on the PC W10 OS.

I think so, which VM would not access the internet?

How would it be?
Do I create a VM, install Android on it (if that's possible), and configure
the VM Proxy with the Tor Socket with Tor open?

What is the VM for? Not to leave vestiges in the HD of the PC?

What is the function of each item?
* VM: Do not leave traces in the HD of the PC?
* VPN: Avoid Government / ISP Tracing?
* Tor: hide IP from source?

Would it be this?

I'm going to test this week, but I think WhatsApp should accept this site.

As anonymous, we do not need permanent or private WhatsApp accounts IDs.

Reliable information would be from WhatsApp (WA) and I did not find them,
or from our tests. I thought about locking the UDP ports on my router and
see if the WA works.
I saw on the WA website that WA uses a proprietary protocol as well.
Yes, we can talk by PMs if needed, but at the moment I do not have much to
talk about, if you have, please PM me.
