I think you should read How Tor works: https://www.torproject.org/about/overview.html.en#thesolution There is no 100% security, that is correct. But what do you mean exactly by "it can be dangerous"? Please read our Warning page and learn what Tails does not protect you against: https://tails.boum.org/doc/about/warning/index.en.html > I don't want myself or any of my personal information in any danger. Do you > have any suggestions for being safe while using tor? Of course, other than > using a proxy. If you use Tails for investigative journalistic work for example, you might want to create one Tails stick for each of your identities. Don't mix up identities in the same session. Don't link your Tails usage to personal identifying information if you can. > I know using a VPN is important as well, but I am currently unsure how to > install a VPN to tails. There is no way to use Tails/Tor with a VPN currently, and it's not recommended as it will reduce your anonymity. See "What we don't want" on https://tails.boum.org/blueprint/vpn_support/ Hope it helps.
