Tails is a Linux distribution package for Windows that allows you to launch a portable operating system on your computer via a USB. In contrast to Kali Linux, it features a modern interface. Additionally, this utility protects users against surveillance and censorship on the Internet.

Installation

After you have downloaded the OS image, you need to use the balenaEtcher to install the program on a flash drive. It is necessary to note that it should have at least 8 GB of free storage space. Once this is done, you can simply restart your PC and boot the Tails operating system.

Complete privacy

The OS always starts from the same clean state and everything you do disappears automatically when you shut it down. Almost everything you do can leave traces on the computer:

visited websites;
opened files;
passwords;
connected devices and Wi-Fi networks.

On the contrary, this system software never writes anything to the hard disk. It automatically deletes all traces from the computer memory when you shut it down.

Persistent storage

Furthermore, you have the option to save some of your files and configurations in an encrypted Persistent Storage on the USB stick. It is possible to upload your documents, browser bookmarks, emails, as well as additional applications.
