Tails is a live system that aims to preserve user privacy and anonymity. It enables anonymous access to the Internet via a set of applications and by the passing of one's internet connection through a serious of decentralized, independently operated servers. By using onion-like encryption mechanisms, no individual server knows both where you are and what you're passing. By this mechanism, Tails can ensure your anonymity when accessing traditional websites and/or the "dark web". It is a complete operating system designed to be used from a USB stick independently of the computer's original operating system. It is Free Software and based on Debian GNU/Linux. Tails comes with several built-in applications pre-configured with security in mind: web browser, instant messaging client, email client, office suite, image and sound editor, etc. Like other important projects that we support, ThinkPenguin, Inc has operated Tor servers for over a decade, and regularly makes financial contributions to both the Tor Project and Tails.
