Can ISP see Tails?

Reducing risks when using untrusted computers

Tails can safely run on a computer that has a virus. But Tails cannot always protect you when: Installing from an infected computer. Running Tails on a computer with a compromised BIOS, firmware, or hardware.

Is Tor run by the CIA?

The Tor Project says that it has always been transparent about its funding sources and that it has no past or present connection to the CIA.

Do you need a VPN for Tails?

A2A: Using the Tails OS booted from a live USB flash drive is a very secure way to use the Tor Network. There would be little benefit to supplementing that with a VPN. Your ISP can see that you are connecting using a VPN just as easily as they can see that you are going through a Tor node.

Can ISP see Tails?
