Really interesting distro to just test things and to use Curl without exposing your real IP.

However, it always bothers me when Tails detects the virtual machine VirtualBox as being nonfree.

Even VirtualBox-OSE?

VirtualBox requires a non-free compiler (Open Watcom) to build the BIOS, so it cannot be in Debian main (only contrib). IIRC there are also some non-free prebuilt guest utilities.

Does curl not expose your IP? I was under the assumption only the official browser used tor.

Tails routes all TCP traffic through Tor and blocks UDP (since Tor doesn't support it). To learn more check this out: https://tails.boum.org/contribute/design/Tor_enforcement/

Thx for making Tails, the world doesn't know what you did for it.

Is tails actually safe to use? Has it been audited by someone who is trusted in the sec community? And that’s not even to talk about whether tor itself is still good.
