32)     <h2>What Is It?</h2>
33)     <p>Tor VM is a transparent Tor proxy for Windows built with
34)     <a href="http://www.qemu.org/">Qemu</a> virtualization technology for more
35)     resilient clients and relays.
36)     </p>
37)     <p>You can think of Tor VM like a Tor virtual network card that routes all of the traffic
38)      from your machine transparently over the Tor network without application proxy settings or other configuration.
39)     </p>
40)     <p>The <a href="https://svn.torproject.org/svn/torvm/trunk/doc/design.html">Tor
41)     VM design document</a> contains additional detail about this work in progress.</p>
