Finally you can surf the internet anonymously and leave no trace of where you have been.

Tails is downloaded to USB, DVD or an SD card and allows you to surf anonymously across the internet from any PC. 

Browse and leave no trace

Tails uses Tor to make further sure your footprint on the net goes unnoticed. The computer will have no memory of you ever using it.

Tails takes a while to get set up, but once you have it, you can preserve your privacy and use it on any computer. It is a live operating system that you can use anywhere because of the way it is saved on a portable device.

It includes a lot of basic applications and is very user-friendly once you have installed it. If you are familiar with Tor, then you will know it’s a great program to stay anonymous.

You need to know that the actual download is quite fast. But you need to spend a lot of time reading instructions and making sure you understand every aspect before you install. It is an excellent program, but remember that security can only be as good as the user. So you really need to make sure you have the basics before starting.

Tails stands for The Amnesic Incognito Live System and is a wonderful choice for those needing high security. Journalists and IT workers will love this and see it as essential on their PCs.

Where can you run this program?

Easy to run from a USB on any pc that is Windows, Mac OS or Linux based. The USB factor means it can be run anywhere.

Is there a better alternative?

No. This program gives as best security as you will find. Debian and Linux Mint are a couple of the other better options out there. But Tails is superior to them all.

Our take

Easy to use after set up and a breeze to navigate. Is great at its job and what does what it says on the tin.
