Become Invisible Online With Tails OS, Incognito Linux System Recommended by Edward Snowden

In this video I discuss using the awesome power of Tails. Tails is a portable OS that you can run off a simple USB drive and comes equipped with the power of the Tor Browser. Tails focuses on privacy, security, and anonymity. I discuss how you can use it on nearly any PC and the additional benefits of features like persistence, Onion share, the Tor Browser and encryption.

Great video, for both experienced and inexperienced users. One comment though:I for one, and several of my peers, almost always use persistence for at least stuff like bookmarks. Why? On the TOR-network website addresses are rarely, if ever, quite as easy to remember as website addresses on the "regular" internet; it is often "mumbo-jumbo", so using persistence for those is basically a life-saver in that regard.

@Pouncer_Fox Жыл бұрын

Persistence does theoretically make your distro more vulnerable, where data can be modified or malware added. If you want to just save some files, you can do so with a separate storage drive or something, and you can encrypt that as well.

@prestonbaum5451 10 ай бұрын

The vision of tails is anonymity and freedom. Files leave a vulnerability as well as bookmark. Again look at bookmarks like a file. It stores data that can also be vulnerable. I'd say you can grab a pen and write down your favorite site links physically.

DAS, I just wanted to throw this out there; I am learning many new things as technology advances so quickly these days and I am about to set up a Raspberry Pi 400. It seems to be a great yet powerful little tool to learn from and well, build other projects. What are your thoughts about using TailsOS/TOR/IL on this device as it does have a USB port so I just wonder if the unit itself has enough RAM and other hardware to run this OS and not have any issues. Your videos are great and I plan on getting to as many as possible to learn how to get back what little privacy we have these days!

@dasgeek 3 жыл бұрын

Raspberry Pi devices are amazing and the project possibilities are endless. I don’t think you can run Tails on a Pi as they don’t have an ARM version but you can definitely turn your Pi into a Tor node and/or install Tor browser on it.

Simple question. With Tails, we navigate anonymously, nobody can see our static or dynamic IP address ? Let's say that with my ISP I can download only 10 GB and if I download more, I pay additional fees. So if I use Tails, my ISP won't know if I download 200 GB so that means that I won't have additional costs right ?

@williamjohnson4297 Жыл бұрын

Your ISP will know. Your IP has nothing to do with how they monitor your bandwidth usage. The physical local port on the provider's PoP (Point of Presence, probably a network cabinet outside/near your neighborhood) network equipment that serves internet to your home monitors how much traffic is uploaded/downloaded through your customer port. They wont be able to see what you are downloading and from where on tails, but they will certainly be able to see the amount of what you're downloading.

@user-mx6hu9yv6l 2 жыл бұрын

linux and tails are not entirely different things. linux is a kernel, a set of the most basic binaries defining file system, network and user hierarchy, drivers and whatnot, and tails is just another of the many distributions based on this kernel. it's like with cars: there's so many possible brands and models, but they all have wheels, engine, fuel, brakes, seats, pedals etc in common. and about launching from the usb, it's like booting up your usual os that is installed in your internal hard drive or ssd, but instead doing it from the thumb drive. it is not necessary to install tails on the internal drive or to delete your main system, even more so, you can run tails on the machine without any drives. that's why it's called "live" system, it doesn't leave any "tails" (HA!) behind on the computer, and every boot is like fresh new.

If you do then you better not ever sign in to those same accounts using a normal web browser, because then your activity on Tor and the other browser can be linked.

Good question. The first difference is that nobody should be using Kali as a daily driver OS. Even Kali devs will tell you that. Kali is made specifically for pentesting and it's persistent root access is a security hole for daily driving. Tails on the other hand comes with Tor integrated and is focused on privacy with the tools installed. Kali is awesome but it serves a very different purpose.
