I've eventually found time to test uVirtus 2.0.

As far as I can tell, the default web browser goes out in the clear,
without any anonymity whatsoever (neither VPN nor Tor): I see no route
by the one through my local router, and the firewall's filter and nat
tables are empty. Same for DNS resolution, that goes through the
OpenDNS open resolvers.

Is it on purpose? I'm worried that users may think otherwise, after
reading the webpage, and then put themselves at risk. What do
you think?

Cheers,
