The steps given here are applicable for Windows, Linux, FreeBSD, and macOS.Īs we have seen above, the recommended RAM requirement for Tails OS is 2GB, of course, we can use lower than that, however for optimal performance two gigabytes are necessary. Let’s see the method to run Tails on VirtualBox Virtual Machine to get familiar with it and its tools. All these programs are also designed for maximum security, for example, the clipboard is encrypted. Other programs that are already preinstalled in Tails are an instant messaging client, a picture editor, an audio editor, an office suite, and many more. Of course, to achieve security and anonymity when surfing the Internet, all Internet traffic under Tails is routed through the Tor network.įurthermore, instead of regular browsers such as Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Opera, it comes with Tor Browser pre-installed. For example, you can only surf the Internet via the Tor network, e-mails can be encrypted with PGP and the system even encrypts the clipboard. Tails uses a hardened Debian Linux and comes with a good set of pre-installed tools. This makes it a portable Linux OS that a user can use on any system without leaving a trace behind or storing any data on the computer’s hard drive. We can easily write in on a USB drive using software such as Rufus or Etcher or else burn it on a DVD. The Tails Linux distribution is designed as a live system particular for data protection and anonymity on the Internet. Here we learn the steps to set up, run and use Tails in VirtualBox Virtual Machine to learn and get familiar with it. Instead, it is a hardened Linux system meant to run in a Live environment via DVD or USB stick.
Well, Debian-based Tails is not the Linux system that we can install on our PC like Windows or other Linux distros.
