Anonymous and secure surfing with Tails

The Amnesic Incognito Live System, or Tails for short, is primarily designed as a system for easily moving around the Internet as an anonymous user [1].

You can burn Tails onto a DVD or install it on a USB stick, boot it, and enjoy the protection of privacy and the best possible anonymity while surfing. Tails uses the Tor network [2] for all Internet connections, without having to configure anything. Bluetooth or Wi-Fi are available for connecting to the local network.

Tails is particularly useful for mobile connections on PCs belonging to others, such as on company computers or Internet cafés. The distribution leaves no traces behind on the host system – unless you explicitly allow storage of the data. Additionally, the Tails system uses state-of-the-art cryptography for encrypting files and emails.
