Tails is safe but not magic!
Tails is safer than any regular operating system. But Tails, or any software or operating system, cannot protect you from everything—even if they pretend to.
PROTECTING YOUR IDENTITY WHEN USING TAILS
Tails is designed to hide your identity.
But some of your activities could reveal your identity:
- Sharing files with metadata, such as date, time, location, and device information
- Using Tails for more than one purpose at a time
LIMITATIONS OF THE TOR NETWORK
![]() |
Tails uses the Tor network because it is the strongest and most popular network to protect from surveillance and censorship.
But Tor has limitations if you are concerned about:
- Hiding that you are using Tor and Tails
- Protecting your online communications from determined, skilled attackers
REDUCING RISKS WHEN USING UNTRUSTED COMPUTERS
Tails can safely run on a computer that has a virus.
But Tails cannot always protect you when:
- Installing from an infected computer
- Running Tails on a computer with a compromised BIOS, firmware, or hardware
Why use tails: Because you always have to adapt your digital security practices to your specific needs and threats.
