TAILS OS is not compatible with all WIFI network cards. A WIFI dongle is a Network WIFI card that can be plugged in a USB port. The list above shows WIFI dongles that TAILS OS recognizes
Great tutorial. It is very clear and wastes no time. I would recommend verifying that the Tails file you downloaded, but that requires having extra software installed, doing some commands from command prompt, etc.
until I found this video i was lost. i watched a couple other videos and was still lost. best video to install and configure tails that i found.. thank you boss
Thanks for the video. I appreciate the fact that you showed that the USB drive is run from Legacy boot, not UEFI, in the BIOS. I was completely confused by that, until now
Easy to follow video, I didn’t have any problems getting this set up. If anyone is running into any password issues when you first boot tails there will be an option on the bottom left that lets you choose a password simple fix. Great video thanks again.
Wow thank you for taking the time to give a step by step tutorial on how to properly use tails I have no idea how do you begin size of voiding it but now I'm glad that I learned could you please do I video with the exact same format you did but for kali linux
Wipe the stick and start again, make sure the process on refus has fully completed before removing the stick and make sure that you have the correct and latest Tails Os image downloaded. Hope you fix it mate 👍
Thanks for the video. One question, Tails will not overwrite my other operating system right? So I can just eject the usb drive and have my regular pc after restarting? Thanks for the answers
Hello, when I tried to boot from my USB, when choosing Tails an error appears, it says: vmlinuz has invalid signature. error: you need to load the kernel first
I did this thing. Follow all instructions And it worked. Thank you. But here is my dumb question. Can I connect myself via USB no need to use an external machine right?
@@KnowledgeSharingTech Okay so if I understand well my boot USB can be considerate like a external machine right? Once I'm connected I have access to tails via my USB how to configurate a VPN on it like express VPN for example?
Help! I do exactly what you said, but the wifi is not connect after I restarted it, it keeps asking persistent password which I entered it and it's correct, it keeps asking every 30second and wifi still not connected
I have new usb sticks and when I download tails, it doesn't show up on my usb. Whys this? Theres nothing on the usbs and there 8 gigs. I have windows on my desktop PC
Thanks for the video. What do you think about using a VPN with Tails? The only way I can think of to do that would be to install the VPN on a VON router, such as the GL-iNet portable routers.
No need for a VPN on TAILS because it uses the Tor network, as a matter of fact, a VPN would be bad for TAILS because your traffic will be channeled through one identifiable point
When I load up from Dell and press f12 it takes me to the screen you showed me but doesn’t give me the option to load from the usb does anyone have any ideas?
i have a problem. i have create an usb key on windows but when i start tails os and want to create the persistent mode.i have an error "device was not created using a USB image or Tails installer.
Question #1: What's the difference between GPT and MBR for partition scheme? Rufus defaults to MBR for me and I can't change it to GPT. Question #2: Why did the partition for tails go from 1.19 to 8GBs? Question #3: How do you access the files that you can now store on the remainder of the drive? Can you add a shortcut to this folder on the desktop? Question #4: If you plug this usb drive into a machine that has booted to windows, can you access the files from windows? Would you need to partition the persistent volume to NTFS for that to work?
Some people run it on their computer from within a VMware window, but I don't recommend that since your Windows OS may have malware that tracks what you do. Plus, Windows 10 itself is commercial spyware. You should use a VPN since Tails does not encrypt your traffic.
The earlier comment is wrong, VPN is not recommended when using Tails and can potentially expose your identity. tails.boum.org/support/faq/index.en.html#vpn
@@KnowledgeSharingTech thank you. I managed to install tails on my USB. I now have to figure out how to use my VPN when using tails from a USB-stick. Do you have advise?
@@kanaaltotvermaeck I recommend using a raspberry pi with a wireless adapter. It's a bit tricky to set up at first but very well worth it. There are plenty of videos on how to do it.
Every time I enable persistent storage and go thru the steps then restart.........Then it does Nothing! will not load have to reload tail onto the usb ,and its becoming annoying to try to figure it out why it crashing .Please help!
Thanks for the video, very clear. But for me, everything went well until i hit the boot. I went to my computers boot with the USB plug in. When i went down to check all the options, their was non that said “USB Storage”. The only options I had were: Boot Mode Fast Boot USB boot EFI Windows Boot manager Linpus lite (USB) i pressed enter on every single one and it didn’t work. I’d really appreciate it if u can help me out. I have a Lenovo Yoga 910-131KB. Prior to this, everything went smoothly. I download torr and rufus perfectly. Thank you g
If your PC can start from an SD card, then yes. You can also get a USB to SD card adaptor and use the SD card this way. Just make sure you get a high endurance SD card.

Any idea if this can be done on Ventoy USB stick?!

It says "boot error" whenever I try to boot it what should I do?
Try something else!

For me, it's saying device not authorized for usage. Plz help
Great video! I had a message of “persistence volume is not mounted” catering trying to configure it. What could this mean?
So I can't download and launch tails on the same laptop? Cause I'm on the boot menu and there is no USB option, infact my USB isn't even on

Hello, I need help, how do I make a sparrow wallet software persistent in tails, for example, I tried but couldn't?
also, could a wired connection with an ethernet cable work instead of using a wifi dongle?
Yes
A wired connection is in fact better than a wifi connection, but less convenient.
do you need to use it on a separate computer? or is it safe to use it on your primary desktop pc?
Use it on any PC. Safety comes from how to use it and not where you use it
legend thanks

when i exectute it in bios as an option it wount exectute from the USB?

How long tails loading from usb Flash?
so should this be used only if you want to be incognito or is it okay if you want to use it for banking and financial stuff
if using a smaller USB (4gb) should i use a previous version of tails?
No
Won't fit. Use a light Linux distro instead.
Hi Thank you so much for this easy to follow video. I have 1 question, do you still need to use a VPN while using tails?
No need to use a VPN when you use TAILS because TAILS uses the Tor network
@@KnowledgeSharingTech thank you
is that normal usb?
Could you explain to me what PERSISTENCE is and what its used for??
Persistence means the configuration and files you save to the OS persist and do not get deleted on restart
Every time I enable persistent storage and go thru the steps then restart.........Then it does Nothing!
will not load have to reload tail onto the usb ,and its becoming annoying to try to figure it out why it crashing .Please help!
Will this work on a Mac?
Thanks man

"disc file image is corrupted" did i miss somthing?
So I keep getting download failed and it doesn't verify on tails website. Tried 4 times. What am I doing wrong?
Why does tails say its 8 June when i downloaded it today on 17 June why is time wrong?
tails wont work with a 30 series card, how do i access launch commands?
What do you mean at 2:30 when you say click the image? Is this simply just the downloaded file of tails? The one from the boum website?
Yes, click it to select it
Thanks for the video, very clear. But for me, everything went well until i hit the boot. I went to my computers boot with the USB plug in. When i went down to check all the options, their was non that said “USB Storage”. The only options I had were:

Hi ! I am encountering an issue, the wifi option does not apear on the right top corner. How do I find it and activate it? Thank you !

is it possible to multiboot with tails?
Would this work with a micro SD card connected via USB adapter?
Yes
do you need a lap top can i use my pc still
A PC will work
Bro can you help me install tails through and on a dvd -R
thank u
Welcome
I got a problem: wifi adaptor not found
Is it ok to use an SD card to run TAILS or any other OS or do you have to use a pen drive ?
If your PC can start from an SD card, then yes. You can also get a USB to SD card adaptor and use the SD card this way. Just make sure you get a high endurance SD card.
so every time i startup my computer, and want to connect to tails i need to go to bios ands select usb? If I dont I will connect to windows yes?
Well you can hit the hot boot key instead of going to the BIOS setup
