haha. Nice )

anyway - all defaults bound on idea of one netvm and one firewall vm.
This is not good for a custom scheme. I miss a network map feature.
Finally when I'm busy I giveup and leave defaults. I currently use tor
w/ whonix blindly trusting them made all right. This is damn slow.
This makes my google and yandex search engines (and lots of other
sites) ask me "you're not a robot". Very annoying. No easy GUI fall
back to non-tor defaults. Hrrm. Next time I'll start w/o Tor layer as
default - the setting finally makes me loose my time.
