Tails

Tails

Tails is a version of Linux that uses the GNOME desktop environment, designed to protect your privacy as you surf the Internet. Tails includes a series of tools focused on maintaining your anonymity as a user, with an edition of Firefox prepared to use the TOR network as a particular highlight, thereby ensuring that none of your online activity leaves a trace. The Tails user interface, called "GNOME", has a top panel with three main sections: Applications, Places and System. In Applications, you can access available programs and explore different categories such as Internet, Office, Sound & Video, and more. Places provides quick access to different storage spaces, such as the desktop or the hard disk. In System, you can control and adjust different aspects of the environment, such as keyboard, screen or printing device configurations. The lower section of the GNOME interface displays windows leading to four different work areas. From here, you can access Nautilus, the GNOME file manager that also functions as an FTP and SFTP client. Tails has been optimized to run from a DVD or USB stick, operating independently from the operating system the computer it is running on uses, ensuring security on the go as a result. The secret behind the privacy offered by Tails lies in its use of the Tor network, which acts as a shield for online privacy. All apps on Tails are configured to connect through Tor and any non-anonymous connection is automatically blocked. Tor ensures privacy by redirecting user traffic through a series of distributed relays, preventing third parties from tracking online activities and hiding the actual location where you are using your device.
