About Tails

Tails boots from a USB stick, forces all network traffic through Tor, and forgets everything when it shuts down unless you deliberately create an encrypted persistent volume. It bundles a browser, mail client, messaging, office and metadata tools configured for anonymity.

Strengths

  • Leaves no trace on the host machine and forces all traffic through Tor
  • Bundles the anonymity and metadata tooling already configured

Limitations

  • Protection depends on how you use it; logging into personal accounts defeats it
  • Slow, and the live system cannot be updated in place while running
