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

Tails is a 'burner' phone for the internet.

[@brian95240]

Great demo man! I'm going to create 5 of these sticks. Each will be used for a single task; to compartmentalize my online behavior. Qubes will be my next curiosity (in a VM). I can't wait to try it!

[@ulrikcaspersen9145]

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]

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]

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.

[@netsnower]

GREAT video explaining Tails OS and its basic features in a very simple form :)

[@notquitehim]

I love your vision man! I've been saying it's time to reinvent the internet for the longest time, and I've always dismissed the idea of embracing onion sites because of the stigma. I say hell yeah, let's reverse the idea that only bad guys use the deep web.

awesome video man. Thanks! And as far as Mac goes, use Pre 2015 models and Tails OS on USB should be a non issue. Any later than that 2016 up to current is a PITA.

Thank you I really appreciate that.

[@richiesyt3492]

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]

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.

[@richiesyt3492]

Thank you very much for the info, keep up the great tutorials.

[@Facefur1]

The key element here is that you can change the boot order to allow USB to be first. Some computers may not always make this easy.

[@scarytruths01]

I created a tails usb a few days ago been having a lot of fun with it lol

[@bornsonoran]

I have a question. When turning on persistence volume it does save all my bookmarks but when I add Bitwarden to the add ons on the Tor browser it never stays. I have to install it everytime. Is there a way to permanently enable it?

Yes

Where is there a FORUM where to find help about Tails issues? My BIGGEST issue is not finding answers to my questions as I'm not greatly confident with Terminal, Tails Terminal often isn't happy with other Linuxes SO's and I'm left with an error and nobody toask and let's be real, if you aren't a geek, internet Tails info aren't that great to be very educate. Thanks to anyone who can direct me the right way! I'll be very happy to find out it was just me the dumb not finding infos. TY ;)

[@HienNguyen-dp3yv]

Thank you for sharing this interesting video. Does it work if I simply drop the iso in a usb stick with Ventoy? Your response is greatly appreciated.

[@Plastik13]

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]

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.

[@dasgeek]

Not sure how you would go about contacting Snowden but you can look at WikiLeaks to submit information. You can encrypt the persistent storage option in Tails but it’s meant to have amnesia by default so you would have to setup persistence.

[@dutchvonderlinde1693]

i don't get it. if I need a usb stick to boost linux itself, how can I run tails on it? this is all so extremelly confusing for me. from my understanding i can't instal linux on my computer so that it's basically the only/main OS. so how do i run linux and then tails on linux, :S

[@ВалерийШадрин-л5г]

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.

wtf do you mean by Reboot into Tails ? Do you mean go into bios and change the boot order on a windows machine ? or are you implying that the only computer tails will work on is one that is already using Linux , and when the boot manager comes up click Tails

[@christophergarcia8263]

Can I have tails download for windows and Mac on the same pen drive no prob ?

[@LegasPower]

Great vid! my monitor turns off ca 10 secs after the boot of tails (not on windows though), did not find anything on the web. Does anybody know why this could happen? it starts normal, i can see the welcome screen, then the monitor is off (therefore not getting a signal?) thx for ur answers!

This is my first intro about tails. I am not here illegally yet. I plan to use a large USB and install tails and use the rest for storage then when I shut off and remove my USB ALL info is in my hand. This video is 2 years old. Anymore we should know?

[@ReubenAStern]

I get the feeling internet security isn't going to be a joke in 2023. I wouldn't be surprised if the governments launch full scale cyber wars bricking millions of computers. I want an OS like this just to use crap like facebook and go on random sites. Qubes is really good for browsing the internet. It lets you keep everything separate and I like that. It's not much good for anything else though.

[@astronola]

What make this different than running any flavor of linux live from a flashdrive without persistence ? ..... say Kali?

[@dasgeek]

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.

[@EmeraldHill-vo1cs]

@@dasgeek You didnt answer,( or i didnt get it ) what about mint on a usb?

[@dasgeek]

@@EmeraldHill-vo1cs The difference, Tails has security and privacy tools installed and enabled by default. Mint does not.

[@t1kt0k_gaming]

Whats the recommended USB storage space for tails? for long term use?

[@dasgeek]

I think 16-32GB would give you plenty in a situation which you want to save some files and apps in persistent storage and use it on a regular basis. 8GB is the requirement to get started. The OS itself is quite small so it doesn't need much.

[@rustincohlebla2194]

8 GB ...it`s 1.2 GB actually but you need more in case you want to save some files on the USB storage permannetly ...Otherwise after reboot all the files you downloaded or created are gone

[@cobalt-snake6125]

Never use Tor or Tails to sign in to your accounts. The moment you sign in to any account your anonymity is gone and you may as well be using a regular browser at that point.

[@AlghostUnit]

@@cobalt-snake6125 so it's impossible to comment here while being annonymous?

[@cobalt-snake6125]

@@AlghostUnit The moment you sign in to any account someone watching your network traffic can link that sign in to you. IIRC on the Tails website they specifically warn against signing in to any accounts while using Tor. 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. This is why it's recommended to use two different browsers. One for your normal stuff, like facebook and youtube and so on, and then Tor for things you don't want anyone to know about.

@Gautam But you forget that there are different providers. Some log the user data and the others don't. So, in last case, why I don't surf anonymously?

[@kayax01]

@Gautam Of course, the VPN-server (this is a proxy, isn't it?) needs to have my ip but the question is, whether it logs it or not. It's clear that TOR browser is better in this point but the disadvantage with the TOR browser is that I can't decide in which country I get the final proxy-server. But this is another point. The question was the anonymity and why a VPN not as good regarding anonymity, if the VPN server doesn't log my IP address?
