This has been discussed before and it has been agreed that a VPN is not so good for anonymity as some might think. In fact, Tails does not recommend to use such poor anonymity at all. Because in some particular cases, an user who know what he is doing, needs a specific IP address or an IP address in a specific location or an IP address not listed a as a Tor gateway (such as for checking online bank account or making payments, etc.) - because of all these I think a VPN support will be useful in Tails but only for OpenVPN which is believed to be secure at this moment, not PPTP, L2TP or other. The manner should be the same like Unsafe Browser, meaning the user has to be warned about the risk he is exposing too and I think the VPN should be used only over the Tor network, never straight connections with real IP address. Just my thoughts, experts here can and will take the correct decision. - -- PGP Public key: http://www.sky-ip.org/[email protected] ICQ #: 556561918 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.17 (MingW32) iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJSyMTeAAoJEIN/pSyBJlsReYQIAIpi2Pg57aYs03nyozwzt2Ea 44mryXnHAlEVXWK1ksTvxRAEh7xEbOI6JnjWAV61B+wfXn2mijz3fO23D7cSpozY CdBG7r0uC2hQSITYLjrlvMKlyYvMUfbp3EKpU7xSQaIuWfXQro5EesgNczh8IIeu TNa2z3okk21KAMPclmbWDj3xGILlyQQ44c2ndu4s+TPxQINx4iHKP7PlY6nBrg7e ZlpDByKS+1nsgUbtxY7lI1lr3zTaYwM2V/0H5TK+jClP9EL1h9x1qaS9B6tVPFT+ a4yAEeJTsekbobD8cjyqzy9zS4N27aNC4RhENo6Z0bKsSEPwhyNl5hAE3YkDEMY= =DeF5 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ tails-dev mailing list [email protected] https://mailman.boum.org/listinfo/tails-dev
