-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 > 1) The ability to make the Torrc file persistent. The reason we would like a persistent torrc file is for authenticated hidden services. Authenticated Tor Hidden Services (ATHS) requires a `HidServAuth random_value.onion random_value` line added to the torrc file. Currently with Tails the torrc file is not a persistent option so each time the journalist boots their tails (w/ persistent storage) they need to a) set a root password b) re-add the ATHS config to the torrc file c) service tor reload
We would like a way for the Authenticated Tor Hidden Service configs to be persistent across reboots. https://github.com/freedomofpress/securedrop/issues/282 > 2) The ability to easily log into a persistent storage on USB if you > boot Tails using a DVD/CD The problem we faced is if you boot tails off a dvd you can't use the gui (applications/tails/configure persistent storage) to create a persistent volume on usb stick. You get "Tails is running from non-USB / non-SDIO device /org/UDisks/devices/sr0" On 02/18/2014 01:15 PM, intrigeri wrote: > Hi Trevor, > > thank you for these suggestions! > > Trevor Timm wrote (18 Feb 2014 20:00:25 GMT) : >> 1) The ability to make the Torrc file persistent. > > That's probably a solution, but... to which problem? > > I suspect there are other solutions to the same problem, that would > perhaps avoid creating a user support nightmare, making difficult > upgrades, and generally creating fragmentation among whatever modified > system people run and call "Tails" :) > >> 2) The ability to easily log into a persistent storage on USB if you >> boot Tails using a DVD/CD > > Data point: last time I checked, *if* one already has a Tails USB > stick with a persistent volume, boots from a Tails DVD, and plugs the > USB stick at the right time, then the persistent volume from the USB > stick is available.
