-Tails is a live system that aims to preserve your privacy and anonymity. It
-helps you to use the Internet anonymously and circumvent censorship almost anywhere you go and on any
-computer but leaving no trace unless you ask it to explicitly.
-
-It is a complete operating system designed to be used from a USB stick or a DVD
-independently of the computer's original operating system. It is [[Free
-Software|doc/about/license]] and based on [[Debian GNU/Linux|https://www.debian.org/]].
-
-Tails comes with several built-in applications pre-configured with security in
-mind: web browser, instant messaging client, email client, office suite, image
-and sound editor, etc.

-Online anonymity and censorship circumvention
-=============================================
-
-Tor
----
-
-Tails relies on the Tor anonymity network to protect your privacy
-online:
-
-  - all software is configured to connect to the Internet through Tor
-  - if an application tries to connect to the Internet directly, the
-    connection is automatically blocked for security.
-
-Tor is an open and distributed network that helps defend
-against traffic analysis, a form of
-network surveillance that threatens personal freedom and privacy, confidential
-business activities and relationships, and state security.
-
-Tor protects you by bouncing your communications around a network of
-relays run by volunteers all around the world: it prevents somebody watching
-your Internet connection from learning what sites you visit, and it prevents the
-sites you visit from learning your physical location.
-
-Using Tor you can:
-
-  - be anonymous online by hiding your location,
-  - connect to services that would be censored otherwise;
-  - resist attacks that block the usage of Tor using circumvention tools
-    such as [[bridges|doc/first_steps/welcome_screen/bridge_mode]].
-
-To learn more about Tor, see the official [Tor
-website](https://www.torproject.org/), particularly the following pages:

-  Tor](https://www.torproject.org/about/overview.html.en#whyweneedtor)
-- [Tor overview: How does Tor
-  work](https://www.torproject.org/about/overview.html.en#thesolution)

-  Layman](https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/TorALaymansGuide)

-Use anywhere but leave no trace
-===============================
-
-Using Tails on a computer doesn't alter or depend on the operating system
-installed on it. So you can use it in the same way on your computer, a
-friend's computer, or one at your local library. After shutting down Tails,
-the computer will start again with its usual operating system.
-
-Tails is configured with special care to not use the computer's hard-disks,
-even if there is some swap space on them. The only storage space used by Tails is
-in RAM, which is automatically erased when the computer shuts down. So
-you won't leave any trace on the computer either of the Tails system itself or
-what you used it for. That's why we call Tails "amnesic".
-
-This allows you to work with sensitive documents on any computer and protects you
-from data recovery after shutdown. Of course, you can still explicitly save
-specific documents to another USB stick or external hard-disk and take them away for
-future use.

-
-State-of-the-art cryptographic tools
-====================================
-
-Tails also comes with a selection of tools to protect your data using strong
-encryption:
-
-  - [[Encrypt your USB sticks or external
-    hard-disks|doc/encryption_and_privacy/encrypted_volumes]] using <span
-    class="definition">[[!wikipedia Linux_Unified_Key_Setup desc="LUKS"]]</span>,
-    the Linux standard for disk-encryption.
-
-  - Automatically use HTTPS to encrypt all your communications to a number of
-    major websites using [HTTPS
-    Everywhere](https://www.eff.org/https-everywhere), a Firefox extension
-    developed by the [Electronic Frontier Foundation](https://www.eff.org).
-
-  - Encrypt and sign your emails and documents using the *de facto* standard
-    <span class="definition">[[!wikipedia Pretty_Good_Privacy#OpenPGP desc="OpenPGP"]]</span>
-    either from Tails email client, text editor or file browser.
-
-  - Protect your instant messaging conversations using <span
-    class="definition">[[!wikipedia Off-the-Record_Messaging
-    desc="OTR"]]</span>, a cryptographic tool that provides encryption,
-    authentication and deniability.
-
-  - [[Securely delete your files|doc/encryption_and_privacy/secure_deletion]]
-    and clean your diskspace using [[Nautilus
-    Wipe|http://wipetools.tuxfamily.org/nautilus-wipe.html]].
-
-[[Read more about those tools in the documentation.|doc/encryption_and_privacy]]
