Your setup isn't safe. The proper setup is to have tor running in the 
"Proxy VM" and then then have the "App VM" tunnel all traffic over 
through the Proxy VM. I'm not sure why you are using JonDo. Since they 
first charge for their services and because of it have billing records 
and they are also proven to keep logs on the amount of bandwidth you 
use.

Keep in mind they state:
"Only the following non-individual-related information sent by your 
browser is stored:

the visited webpage (URL)
browser type / browser version
operating system
referrer URL (the site visited before)
time of the server request"

in their privacy policy.

You are by no means anonymous while using JonDo nor safe as since they 
store the information they could be forced to hand it over. It puts you 
at risk. Just setup a traditional who-nix setup.
