How to Use a Tails USB flash drive in Cyber Cafe or Internet Cafe - Without Getting Noticed!

Do you travel often?
Do you use internet cafes?
Do you use public computers in the office, library, or hotel?
Why take a chance on someone eavesdropping on your communication or stealing your data?

Free, easy options, do exist. Yes, 100% free.
In this video, I show you how I use a Linux version called Tails, which improves your security online, and has an option to make the system look like windows, thus not leading anyone near you know you are using a different operating system.


Note:
Tails is based off the Tor project.
It's not perfect. Nothing is, but it’s a great option to have a very secure, very fast operating system, in your pocket, in my humble opinion.

However, you can use any Live USB and have a more secure system, much more secure than any Windows system, so use a Linux Live USB. See Links below!

How?

Download any .iso file that is a Linux version you like, example links below.
Then put the Linux .iso file on your thumb drive using a program such as Unebootin. This makes it an operating system in your pocket, per se.
Boot your computer from the thumb drive that contains your new linux file. To do that, you simply power off your computer, then power it on while holding down a key, it's normally F2, but some computers it's ESC or F10 or another key, depends on model.
Then you have started the computer up using a different operating system!
Fun Fact: This does no damage to the computer. Just turn off the computer when done, unplug your USB, and restart the computer, and no one will know the difference.



You can do this with Tails, like the video shows, or any other Linux version you prefer. There are tons of great ones, but I list my favorites below.
