Wickr is a secure messaging app https://wickr.com/security#encryption

First to get Wickr to work on the whonix-ws i had to install the following 
packages;

libavutil52_9.18-0ubuntu0.14.04.1_amd64.deb
libicu52_52.1-8ubuntu0.2_amd64.deb
libsqlcipher0_3.2.0-1.1~bpo80+1_amd64.deb
libx264-142_0.142.2389+git956c8d8-2_amd64.deb
libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-0
gtk2-engines-pixbuf

wickr-me_2.6.0_amd64.deb (of course)


The app seems to be working ok (havent tested all functionality)

I had a couple of questions tho:

1. Could any of these packages interfere with the anonymity of the whonix-ws?

2. Should i even run Wickr from a Whonix-ws? Or just use a deb template & route 
it through a Whonix-gw?

3.1 wicker has the option to put in proxy details. IP & port. Im not clear if 
its socks5 of not. should i put some information in here so Wickr creates its 
own unique TOR route? which IP should i use 127.0.0.1 or....?

3.2 Ive heard if an app isn't using a socks5 proxy setting it will still use 
Whonix-gw, but not create its own unique route. I believe this opens up the 
risk of cross analysis of network activity on?


Thanks
