      What is the wifi dongle for?

    • @KnowledgeSharingTech
      @KnowledgeSharingTech  Рік тому +1

      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.

    • @KnowledgeSharingTech
      @KnowledgeSharingTech  Рік тому +1

      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

      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.

    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?
