Is it worth it? Should I install? I am interested in privacy.

Just use Tails and also don't use it on your own network
you should be fine
Carson Sanders
Well fuck my shit up. I'm not going to do anything illegal, (maybe embarrassing if anything). I just liked the idea of not being tracked all the time.
Why?
Can I search tails without getting on a list?

I have visited the page. It says Tails runs it's traffic through Tor. So what's the difference, why not just use Tor?
Nicholas Hill
Because Tor isn't a OS and you can't boot it from a USB
Jackson Lee
I see. I started reading more about after I asked.
However, I'm not sure if I care about that. I don't need it to be portable for my uses.

if you care about privacy, VPNs are the key to that, if you want anonymity, that's what tor is for (or their hidden services)
I recommend going with a VPN that allows you to pay via gift cards to local stores (subway, walmart, cvs, best buy, etc) so you can buy them with cash to further your chance of being tracked

Like tor is a normal browser which can show whatever you've done on your pc, tails stores the cache memory in ram and everything gets reset when you restart pc(you can save data like bookmarks by encrypting usb)
Evan Lewis
encrypting isn't complicated btw, shitheads give up thinking "ohhh I've to work on this and know more" it asks you to enter a password.
you just enter a password when it asks for it, you have your own secure encrypted usb.

Feelings.

What's the point of paying for a VPN anonymously if you're connecting to it from your home computer?
Nicholas Stewart
>tor browser stores browsing history
It doesn't.
Blake Parker
(Good) VPNs don't log activity.
Daniel Davis
There's no independent verification of who logs and who doesn't. "We don't keep logs" is just a marketing gimmick.
