The Tor anonymity network is designed to leave no trace and prevent surveillance of your online activities.

The Tails Live system runs from a DVD, USB stick, or SD card. Tails uses only RAM for storage, leaving your hard disk untouched. You can communicate anonymously and circumvent censorship with applications that encrypt your files, email, and chat messages.
