[tor-relays] Running relay on vmware ? is it secure to use Tor on virtual systems ?

[dlugasny at protonmail.com]

No, I`m not hosting any Tor exits in my apartment. Only Relay without exit.
I have some pool of vmware systems with public ips, they are running doing nothing... so I have decided to put some non exit tor traffic to them. Thats why I`m asking.
