26 Tails is a live operating system, that you can start on almost any computer from a DVD, USB stick, or SD card. It aims at preserving your **privacy** and **anonymity**, and helps you to:
28 - **use the Internet anonymously** and **circumvent censorship**;
29 - all connections to the Internet are forced to go through the Tor network;
30 - **leave no trace** on the computer you are using unless you ask it explicitly;
31 - **use state-of-the-art cryptographic tools** to encrypt your files, emails and instant messaging.
