Guide to tails - virusDetected - 04-01-2024
First things first, what is tails?
Tails is an operating system that runs on a usb.
When you plug in the tails usb into your computer and use BIOS to boot into the usb you will boot into tails.
Anything you do will no longer exist after you unplug the usb and shut down your computer.
You can set up a persistent storage in tails that holds your files even after a reboot.
The main perk of using tails it that everything you do on it is private because it uses tor to encrypt everything you do on the internet.
Everything in tails goes through the Tor network making it very secure.
