00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:03,190
Welcome to part nine of this module.

2
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:06,110
We come at last to the tales operating system.

3
00:00:06,330 --> 00:00:10,080
I've mentioned it many times and now it's time that we take a look at it.

4
00:00:10,140 --> 00:00:17,820
Tails is alive operating system that you can start on almost any computer using a U.S. B stick or a

5
00:00:17,820 --> 00:00:20,910
tails image burned onto a DVD.

6
00:00:20,910 --> 00:00:25,740
It has one single purpose to preserve your privacy and anonymity.

7
00:00:25,770 --> 00:00:32,550
It helps you to use the Internet anonymously and to circumvent censorship tails automatically forces

8
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:37,040
all connections to the Internet through the Tor network.

9
00:00:37,050 --> 00:00:44,190
I said in the last video that Tor is not a VPN but all of the applications that come bundled with tales

10
00:00:44,190 --> 00:00:47,070
connect through Tor by default.

11
00:00:47,070 --> 00:00:51,660
The best thing about Thales is that it leaves no trace on your computer.

12
00:00:51,780 --> 00:00:58,470
After you're done using it unless you explicitly set it up to do so it uses state of the art cryptographic

13
00:00:58,470 --> 00:01:05,700
tools to encrypt your files emails and instant messaging when you're done using tails and shut off your

14
00:01:05,700 --> 00:01:06,700
computer.

15
00:01:06,780 --> 00:01:09,330
Nothing whatsoever gets saved on it.

16
00:01:09,330 --> 00:01:13,770
No fingerprints no traces no log files.

17
00:01:14,100 --> 00:01:15,070
No nothing.

18
00:01:15,090 --> 00:01:17,800
No impossible to delete super cookies.

19
00:01:17,850 --> 00:01:21,420
No malware no nothing because Thales runs in RAM.

20
00:01:21,420 --> 00:01:26,940
Every session is like a freshly installed operating system.

21
00:01:26,940 --> 00:01:30,050
Thales also has built in security features.

22
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:36,450
It aims to alter all of your computers identifying characteristics information which could leak in a

23
00:01:36,450 --> 00:01:39,170
variety of ways and it masks them.

24
00:01:39,180 --> 00:01:41,550
All of these with default values.

25
00:01:41,550 --> 00:01:48,120
This means that a website or service that manages to detect these values will see the same set of values

26
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:51,210
for every user of the operating system.

27
00:01:51,210 --> 00:01:56,160
Nothing that uniquely identifies your personal computer should leak.

28
00:01:56,190 --> 00:02:00,230
The single exception may be HDMI L5 canvassing information.

29
00:02:00,270 --> 00:02:05,780
And for that reason you are encouraged not to maximize tor browser when you're using it.

30
00:02:05,790 --> 00:02:10,530
Tails will even change your mac address by default as soon as you connect to it.

31
00:02:10,530 --> 00:02:17,760
There are many ways you can use tails you converted onto a DVD or U.S. B stick and live boot your system

32
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:25,190
or you can use a method described on the Thales website with two U.S. B sticks.

33
00:02:25,230 --> 00:02:31,470
The second method will allow you to have a level of secure persistence in that you can save files and

34
00:02:31,470 --> 00:02:36,050
applications between sessions on the second USP stick.

35
00:02:36,270 --> 00:02:44,010
If you don't care about persistence just go ahead and through the tails iso on a single USP with Rufus

36
00:02:44,010 --> 00:02:46,550
or burn it onto a DVD and have at it.

37
00:02:46,590 --> 00:02:48,760
This will be shown first.

38
00:02:48,780 --> 00:02:54,450
We'll be covering the two USP method however one thing I do want to say really quick before we start

39
00:02:54,690 --> 00:02:59,030
in this video you'll see me using tails inside virtual box.

40
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:05,430
This is because given the nature of tails it is not possible to install any kind of recording software

41
00:03:05,430 --> 00:03:11,340
and obtain video footage during a live boot prior to setting up persistence.

42
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:18,630
So in order to have anything visual to show you I need to be using tails in this way for the first step

43
00:03:18,990 --> 00:03:21,510
of the two USP setup method.

44
00:03:21,510 --> 00:03:28,230
However using tails and virtual box is not necessarily the best idea.

45
00:03:28,290 --> 00:03:30,550
It is something that you can do.

46
00:03:30,570 --> 00:03:35,610
However there are special security considerations and we'll talk about those towards the end of the

47
00:03:35,610 --> 00:03:36,210
video.

48
00:03:36,210 --> 00:03:43,050
Last but not least I apologize if the aspect ratio of the tails screen is not perfect but this was the

49
00:03:43,050 --> 00:03:45,580
best that could be done under the circumstances.

50
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:48,610
So without further ado let's jump right in.

51
00:03:48,690 --> 00:03:52,620
The first thing that we need to do is download Tales From The Web site.

52
00:03:52,620 --> 00:03:56,940
Please note that there is no longer a 32 bit version being offered.

53
00:03:56,940 --> 00:04:04,080
You will need to download the tales iso image you will want to verify the authenticity of your download

54
00:04:04,530 --> 00:04:10,170
and since that was shown in the prior video I I'm not going to cover that again here to save time I've

55
00:04:10,170 --> 00:04:12,520
already gone ahead and downloaded the tales.

56
00:04:12,540 --> 00:04:19,980
Iso image and having already seen Rufus in prior videos I assume that it will need no further explanation.

57
00:04:19,980 --> 00:04:29,190
However if you need a refresher you can download Rufus from HP s Rufus start i.e. it's a very simple

58
00:04:29,190 --> 00:04:36,210
and small file once you double click it you'll be presented with this front end and I should add that

59
00:04:36,210 --> 00:04:41,210
burning tails iso image to a DVD disk is also permissible.

60
00:04:41,310 --> 00:04:46,920
And if you decide to go that route you don't need Rufus at all and just whatever DVD burning software

61
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:50,470
you would typically use if you haven't already.

62
00:04:50,590 --> 00:04:56,260
Go ahead and plug in the USP device that you want to install tails on.

63
00:04:56,380 --> 00:05:01,960
Remember anything currently stored on this device will be deleted by this process.

64
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:05,270
If your device does not immediately appear.

65
00:05:05,500 --> 00:05:08,230
Click on the device dragged down.

66
00:05:08,230 --> 00:05:12,100
There we go next under the boot selection menu.

67
00:05:12,280 --> 00:05:22,070
Make sure that disk or iso image is selected then press the select button and go ahead and select your

68
00:05:22,070 --> 00:05:24,980
tails iso image next.

69
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:28,070
Make certain you choose the correct partition scheme.

70
00:05:28,070 --> 00:05:30,550
This is actually very important.

71
00:05:30,590 --> 00:05:38,440
It will probably show NBER by default with a target system of bias or you EFI.

72
00:05:38,510 --> 00:05:45,140
If your system is using GP t partitioning and you don't have any kind of legacy bootloader enabled a

73
00:05:45,150 --> 00:05:52,700
U.S. B stick formatted as NPR will not show up as a beautiful option when you try to live boot your

74
00:05:52,700 --> 00:06:03,020
computer by the same token if you select GP T and your system is using MPR the same problem will happen.

75
00:06:03,050 --> 00:06:10,040
Also remember that if your computer has one of those rare biopsies that has the Secure Boot feature

76
00:06:10,310 --> 00:06:15,950
it may be necessary to disable this feature in order to boot any non Windows Media.

77
00:06:15,950 --> 00:06:17,180
This is done at your own risk.

78
00:06:17,180 --> 00:06:21,770
However once you've made the correct selection and you need to be sure that the choice is right for

79
00:06:21,770 --> 00:06:25,790
your system all you need to do is click the Start button.

80
00:06:25,790 --> 00:06:30,470
Remember this will erase anything on the selected USP device.

81
00:06:30,620 --> 00:06:33,380
So be 100 percent sure before proceeding.

82
00:06:33,380 --> 00:06:39,080
Once you live but your system using tales you'll see a screen that looks like this.

83
00:06:39,780 --> 00:06:43,040
And once again I apologize for the aspect ratio.

84
00:06:43,140 --> 00:06:46,890
This should look better when we get to the live system for the moment.

85
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:48,990
This is the greeter screen.

86
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,960
Now we can just start tails.

87
00:06:52,050 --> 00:06:57,930
However we have the option to add additional settings if we click on the plus button.

88
00:06:59,290 --> 00:07:05,050
We can turn off MAC address spoofing if we wanted to adjust our network connection.

89
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:08,850
But the one that we're interested in is the administrator password.

90
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:13,510
If we double click on this we can set whatever password we like.

91
00:07:13,510 --> 00:07:17,740
Now it is your option if you wish to set an administrator password.

92
00:07:17,740 --> 00:07:25,630
However if you choose not to set one you will not be able to perform any action that would require super

93
00:07:25,630 --> 00:07:27,280
user privileges.

94
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:32,980
Every time you reboot the tables operating system you will have to set a password.

95
00:07:32,980 --> 00:07:40,180
If you want one it will not persist between boots and this is true even when you're using a persistent

96
00:07:40,180 --> 00:07:42,400
system as will be shown.

97
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:51,560
So for the moment I'm going to go ahead and just type in password and then we click add and now will

98
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:58,760
click Start tails once tails is finally up and running we'll get this rather minimalistic looking screen

99
00:07:58,790 --> 00:08:02,570
that is kind of reminiscent of Windows XP.

100
00:08:02,630 --> 00:08:07,250
The system isn't really pretty to look at but it's not really intended to be.

101
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:13,730
Once again you're seeing me use this in virtual box for this step with the tutorial because there's

102
00:08:13,730 --> 00:08:19,040
no other way to record this during a live boot prior to setting up persistence.

103
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:25,910
Now you can use tales in virtual box if you prefer but this is strongly discouraged.

104
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:33,650
Tails has many security features as has been mentioned such as changing key identifying characteristics

105
00:08:33,650 --> 00:08:36,730
about your computer such as your MAC address.

106
00:08:36,890 --> 00:08:44,510
These simply do not work in virtual box and the host operating system can see and potentially record

107
00:08:44,630 --> 00:08:48,600
everything you do while using a virtual tales.

108
00:08:48,860 --> 00:08:54,140
It ends up being about the equivalent level of security of just using Tor in windows.

109
00:08:54,140 --> 00:08:57,350
As was shown in the last video in any case.

110
00:08:57,350 --> 00:09:01,570
So you've booted into your system using a USP or DVD.

111
00:09:01,610 --> 00:09:06,920
You've been prompted to begin your MAC address and other key identifying markers have been changed or

112
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:09,710
obscured and you're ready to roll.

113
00:09:10,010 --> 00:09:17,660
It is completely possible to use tails as it is right now without taking any further steps.

114
00:09:17,660 --> 00:09:23,000
You can connect to the Internet and then press the little onion icon up here which currently has an

115
00:09:23,060 --> 00:09:24,020
X through it.

116
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:28,480
And when you do that you'll be ready to get started with Tor.

117
00:09:28,540 --> 00:09:33,250
You'll get a message telling you that the Tor circuits are ready and then you can just open up your

118
00:09:33,250 --> 00:09:35,290
Tor Browser and get going.

119
00:09:35,290 --> 00:09:40,030
Remember that you have no persistence if you choose this method.

120
00:09:40,030 --> 00:09:46,820
Anything you do using the operating system in this way gets you raced as soon as you shut it down.

121
00:09:46,870 --> 00:09:53,130
You can always plug in a second USP to store things in the normal way.

122
00:09:53,140 --> 00:10:01,090
All of this isn't particularly secure unless you encrypt it either way many people use tales like this.

123
00:10:01,210 --> 00:10:07,090
If you do just remember things like your electronic wallet in your key manager will be erased when you

124
00:10:07,090 --> 00:10:16,220
reboot if on the other hand you do want persistence it's time for the next step for this you will need

125
00:10:16,220 --> 00:10:27,110
a second USP device plugin that USP now and then open up the applications menu go down to tables and

126
00:10:27,110 --> 00:10:36,160
select the tables installer make absolutely certain that you've got the correct USP device selected

127
00:10:36,190 --> 00:10:39,940
under the target U.S. B stick dragged down menu.

128
00:10:39,940 --> 00:10:47,500
If you used a first USP stick to boot tails make sure you don't select the one the operating system

129
00:10:47,500 --> 00:10:49,310
is currently running on.

130
00:10:49,330 --> 00:10:53,590
In other words use a second USP stick for this.

131
00:10:53,590 --> 00:10:59,720
If you have a tails iso image that is stored on separate media you can select it.

132
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:03,880
But the easiest thing to do is simply to select the clone.

133
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:08,260
The current tails radial button which is selected by default.

134
00:11:08,260 --> 00:11:13,330
And when you're ready click the install button to get started.

135
00:11:13,330 --> 00:11:21,430
You will need to confirm an all data on the USP stick will be lost when you're ready click install and

136
00:11:21,430 --> 00:11:29,500
this will take some time usually about 5 to 10 minutes depending on your system and your USP read write

137
00:11:29,500 --> 00:11:30,280
speeds.

138
00:11:31,500 --> 00:11:41,020
Once this is done you can use the second USP stick to live boot and we'll pick up from there.

139
00:11:41,070 --> 00:11:42,690
And welcome back.

140
00:11:42,690 --> 00:11:45,780
You may have noticed that the screen resolution has changed.

141
00:11:45,930 --> 00:11:47,610
I do apologize again.

142
00:11:47,620 --> 00:11:53,070
Tails is not a very conducive environment for video recording and even playing with the settings and

143
00:11:53,070 --> 00:11:54,810
next render really didn't help.

144
00:11:54,810 --> 00:12:03,510
However what you're now seeing is an actual live boot of the operating system from USP persistence to

145
00:12:03,510 --> 00:12:05,520
configure persistence options.

146
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:15,260
We just need to go up to applications system tools and select configure persistent volume these options

147
00:12:15,260 --> 00:12:16,850
can be toggled on and off.

148
00:12:16,850 --> 00:12:24,370
Be aware that if you turn one off and then reboot that information is going to be permanently lost.

149
00:12:24,380 --> 00:12:27,310
These options are fairly self-explanatory.

150
00:12:27,380 --> 00:12:35,600
The first personal data refers to a folder called persistence that you'll find in the file directory.

151
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:39,850
Anything stored in this folder will not be deleted across sessions.

152
00:12:39,860 --> 00:12:46,370
If you store personal files in any other location such as the desktop for example these will be lost

153
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:53,740
when you shut down so please keep that in mind browser bookmarks refers to both Tor and clear net browser.

154
00:12:53,750 --> 00:13:00,650
Keeping this on is handy to save all of those confusing deep web links that you may acquire network

155
00:13:00,650 --> 00:13:07,000
connection will save your router information so that you don't have to enter your password to log in

156
00:13:07,010 --> 00:13:08,150
every single time.

157
00:13:08,420 --> 00:13:14,810
Although again this is very personally identifying additional software is a blanket category that covers

158
00:13:14,870 --> 00:13:17,300
anything else that you might wish to install.

159
00:13:17,690 --> 00:13:24,770
However one thing that you may wish to keep in mind is that every time you boot tails that software

160
00:13:24,770 --> 00:13:27,980
will automatically install itself fresh.

161
00:13:28,220 --> 00:13:30,200
And this may take quite a while.

162
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:36,530
Use this option with care printers safe printer information Thunderbird can be saved as well if you

163
00:13:36,530 --> 00:13:45,150
use it but Jean you P G and Bitcoin client are probably the two most important settings here.

164
00:13:45,170 --> 00:13:53,060
Without these toggled on all of your keys and all of your cryptocurrency will be lost once you shut

165
00:13:53,060 --> 00:13:54,160
down.

166
00:13:54,170 --> 00:14:02,320
I strongly recommend that you back up your wallet and keys by some other means even if you do use persistence.

167
00:14:02,330 --> 00:14:03,610
However that is up to you.

168
00:14:03,620 --> 00:14:11,720
Finally SS H keys and dot files can also be stored once your generally happy with the configuration

169
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:13,050
click save.

170
00:14:13,190 --> 00:14:20,240
Remember if it is not in the persistence folder or one of the things being covered on this list it will

171
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:22,520
not be saved between sessions.

172
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:26,950
Another thing I need to mention is that if we go down to system tools.

173
00:14:27,170 --> 00:14:31,550
Notice that there are two terminals a regular and a route terminal.

174
00:14:31,550 --> 00:14:38,740
These are both your typical Linux terminals not that different from what you're used to by now in Cali.

175
00:14:38,750 --> 00:14:47,030
However if you neglect to set administrator password there is no way to utilize any command that requires

176
00:14:47,030 --> 00:14:49,120
super user privileges.

177
00:14:49,130 --> 00:14:51,150
This can be fixed by rebooting.

178
00:14:51,230 --> 00:14:56,510
Which brings up the greeter screen and then you just click the plus button and add the password as you

179
00:14:56,510 --> 00:15:02,480
saw and administrator password must be set each time you start a new session.

180
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:03,700
If you want one.

181
00:15:03,740 --> 00:15:08,660
Notice that we also have the ability to unlocked very crypt volumes.

182
00:15:08,660 --> 00:15:16,160
This isn't actually very script one would just add the file container or specify the drive using the

183
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:17,480
ad command.

184
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:24,590
It is of course possible to install the Linux version of either very script or true crypt to allow for

185
00:15:24,590 --> 00:15:26,090
full functionality.

186
00:15:26,210 --> 00:15:33,440
Actually recommend this since it provides an extra layer of security within your persistent volume but

187
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:40,700
it is of course your option like most Linux installations tales comes pre bundled with quite a lot of

188
00:15:40,700 --> 00:15:41,940
software.

189
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:52,070
Most of these are just your basic expected tools tools for dealing with graphics or office tools such

190
00:15:52,070 --> 00:15:54,870
as Liberal office calculators and the like.

191
00:15:54,890 --> 00:16:00,620
The only programs that you really need to be aware of that are somewhat unique are the bitcoin wallet

192
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:06,260
key manager and the unsafe browser which I'll talk about shortly.

193
00:16:06,260 --> 00:16:11,400
The rest of these programs are pretty much what you would expect if you're using persistence.

194
00:16:11,420 --> 00:16:18,680
You can add new programs to these lists if you want to but remember that anything you do add has the

195
00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:23,180
potential to compromise the security of your tables installation.

196
00:16:23,300 --> 00:16:29,810
So be very very careful about adding additional software if we travel up to the right hand corner we

197
00:16:29,810 --> 00:16:36,440
can notice that the down arrow allows us to select our router and change the brightness and volume the

198
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:42,900
arrow next to the E N allows us to specify our language and keyboard layout.

199
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:50,480
The default is English the onion icon allows us to open up our Tor relay circuits and if we press the

200
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:58,760
Windows key we can gain access to the side menu containing the Tor browser as well as other applications.

201
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:05,540
Finally if we click on the little clipboard icon in the upper right hand corner we can see that we have

202
00:17:05,540 --> 00:17:13,550
the option to encrypt the clipboard with a passphrase sign encrypt clipboard with public keys open a

203
00:17:13,550 --> 00:17:20,820
text editor which is self-explanatory or manage keys when we click on manage keys were brought into

204
00:17:20,830 --> 00:17:22,300
our key manager.

205
00:17:22,330 --> 00:17:28,540
This manager is just a slightly more sophisticated version of the GM new manager that we saw on the

206
00:17:28,540 --> 00:17:29,500
prior video.

207
00:17:29,620 --> 00:17:37,840
If we click on the GM UPC keys we can see that Thales comes pre bundled with all real keys relevant

208
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:44,410
to it and this manager works exactly the same way as the Windows version.

209
00:17:44,410 --> 00:17:51,070
If we go to file we can import keys export them or even create new ones.

210
00:17:51,430 --> 00:17:54,130
As you can see it's really just this easy.

211
00:17:54,160 --> 00:18:02,160
We'll go ahead and name our key something and put in our other information or email address which doesn't

212
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:05,200
have to be real and we have advanced options.

213
00:18:05,310 --> 00:18:07,770
We can leave a comment if we like.

214
00:18:07,770 --> 00:18:11,410
I'm not being very creative here but this is just a demonstration.

215
00:18:11,430 --> 00:18:18,030
Go ahead and click the button and enter our passphrase for administrator privileges.

216
00:18:18,030 --> 00:18:18,720
Give it a minute.

217
00:18:20,530 --> 00:18:21,890
And there we go.

218
00:18:21,910 --> 00:18:25,390
The key has been created and added to our manager.

219
00:18:25,390 --> 00:18:26,830
Just that easy.

220
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:34,300
For more information on p. GP in general and key management please see the prior module that covered

221
00:18:34,300 --> 00:18:35,280
it.

222
00:18:35,380 --> 00:18:41,770
And finally the last thing to do of course is to go ahead and load up tor itself and the very first

223
00:18:41,770 --> 00:18:49,090
thing to do when launching Tor is to go up to the security settings and make sure they are correct.

224
00:18:49,090 --> 00:18:52,570
Because remember they aren't always correct by default.

225
00:18:52,600 --> 00:19:01,200
I strongly recommend toggling the setting up to safest even though this may break certain Web sites.

226
00:19:01,210 --> 00:19:08,870
We also want to come over and make sure that the no script is on by default.

227
00:19:08,940 --> 00:19:16,250
It should be but in older versions it wasn't always and this was bad beyond changing the MAC address.

228
00:19:16,260 --> 00:19:23,730
Tales obscures many facts about your system that might otherwise leak and be used to identify your computer

229
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:26,130
rather like a unique fingerprint.

230
00:19:26,130 --> 00:19:32,150
It does this by changing these values to generic ones shared by old tails users.

231
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:39,060
It is therefore somewhat easy to determine if a person is using tails but very difficult to determine

232
00:19:39,090 --> 00:19:46,940
anything specific about the computer that it is running on how you use tails is really up to you.

233
00:19:47,130 --> 00:19:54,300
If you do not require persistence then all you need to do is Bernard on burn the ISO to a DVD or use

234
00:19:54,300 --> 00:19:57,350
Rufus to install it to a USB stick.

235
00:19:57,510 --> 00:20:03,930
Browse with it then be secure knowing that every trace of your activity on the computer that you're

236
00:20:03,930 --> 00:20:07,130
using goes away when you shut it down.

237
00:20:07,170 --> 00:20:16,260
If you want to be able to store files keys wallets and bookmarks then use the two USP method shown here

238
00:20:16,260 --> 00:20:17,780
for persistence.

239
00:20:17,850 --> 00:20:24,950
Tails will not protect you if you do not observe good operating security in what you do online.

240
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:32,240
There are many ways that you can unmask yourself and covering all of them would be impossible generally

241
00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:32,850
speaking.

242
00:20:32,870 --> 00:20:40,340
You should not use tales as a day to day operating system for doing mundane Internet activity that connects

243
00:20:40,610 --> 00:20:42,690
to your personal identity.

244
00:20:42,770 --> 00:20:47,030
You should really reserve it for times when you truly wish to remain anonymous.

245
00:20:47,090 --> 00:20:50,680
But again this is up to you in the next video.

246
00:20:50,780 --> 00:20:54,930
We are going to be covering virtual private networks or VPN ends.

247
00:20:55,070 --> 00:21:02,450
But I do need to make a quick statement about VPN as they relate to tales when you are using Tor your

248
00:21:02,450 --> 00:21:06,720
Internet service provider can see that you are connected to the TOR network.

249
00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:13,760
Your ISP can't see your specific Internet traffic but there will be a record that you are on Tor if

250
00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:19,440
you are on a shared network your network administrator will also be able to see this information.

251
00:21:19,610 --> 00:21:26,200
A VPN has the advantage of hiding the fact that you are using Tor from these watchful eyes.

252
00:21:26,210 --> 00:21:34,190
It is possible with a VPN router or other rather complicated steps to use a VPN with tales and there

253
00:21:34,190 --> 00:21:40,220
are pros and cons of doing this which will be covered in greater detail in the next video.

254
00:21:40,220 --> 00:21:43,730
After we cover in general what a VPN is.

255
00:21:43,730 --> 00:21:50,240
I hope you found this presentation helpful and that tales proves a useful tool for your tool box.

256
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:51,080
Thank you.
