> 1) There are very good videos on YT how to install TAILS. We have > already written out the procedure and wanted to install TAILS soon. But > unfortunately you need two USB sticks for it. Now we have seen on the > homepage of TAILS that you can also do this directly in Linux - in the > terminal. This is faster and only one USB stick is needed. Not that we > only have one USB stick, we find the installation via terminal easier. > Do we see it right, that you can only copy the commands and paste them > into the terminal? You have to be a little careful to use the right name > ... But otherwise we find it easier. Our official instructions have not required 2 USB sticks since October 2018. That's why we don't recommend YouTube videos: they tend to be very outdated and confuse more than help. Please refer only to https://tails.boum.org/install/. > 2) We always read that you should NOT use TAILS or the TOR browser with > VPN. What do you recommend? Why is it more insecure to use with VPN, > should it be the case? Of course, we assume VPN's that have an > appropriate reputation and can be classified safe. Otherwise, of course, > the situation is clear. See our FAQ on VPNs: https://tails.boum.org/support/faq/#vpn. > 3) Why is the homepage called "tails.boum.org"? Why "boum"? Our website used to be hosted by boum.org, but not anymore. We've been looking for a better domain name but haven't got one just yet. > 4) In the persistent folder the data is secure but the folder is > visible. Will TAILS eventually come with programs similar to Veracrypt? Not super likely: https://gitlab.tails.boum.org/tails/tails/-/issues/5929. > Or can these invisible folders be displayed with appropriate software?
