TorBox Tails

Is there a way I can configure torbox with tails
Never tried pointing Tails to an external port but:
https://tails.boum.org/contribute/design/stream_isolation/
They use multiple SocksPort because Tails-specific applications use a dedicated SocksPort, so that they don't help trivial correlating of other kinds of network traffic with Tails
Why should someone use TorBox and Tails together? If you use Tails, all data are already going through Tor. To prevent mistakes, Tails automatically blocks applications if they try to connect to the Internet without Tor (see here).
Combining Tails with TorBox would mean that your data would go twice through Tor; meaning the data stream goes through two circuits, which means that you get six hops instead of three (for more details, see here). Even we don't think this is a security risk, it doesn't have any advantages, in contrary your overall network speed will be most likely worse than usual.
If you really want to use TorBox and Tails together, then no particular configuration should be necessary. For Tails, TorBox is nothing else than a wifi- or cable-router.
