Tails is about anonymity, and one-hop-proxy based solutions, such as VPN ones, are very feable in this area. We do aim at implementing some VPN support, though, for some specific usecases where it makes sense: https://tails.boum.org/todo/vpn_support/ > This could be a feauture for Tails, that it selfexpandes and copies > some jibberish till the drive its on is full. I'm not sure I understood your point well, but Tails has some support for persistence: https://tails.boum.org/doc/first_steps/persistence/ > Also a turn on/off function for those who wish to use it.
