welcome everybody to this video, section five of the tails masterclass.

2
00:00:04,830 --> 00:00:09,020
in this video, we're going to be discussing how to actually get online in tails.

3
00:00:09,040 --> 00:00:17,240
now the next video will actually show you connecting to tor, but i wanted to be sure to give you an overview of how tails actually uses the internet.

4
00:00:17,420 --> 00:00:23,160
it's important to note that tail uses tor for all of its communication on the os.

5
00:00:23,220 --> 00:00:34,960
you can install things that can go round tor, but i wouldn't suggest this as the default security and functionality of tails is really enhanced by utilizing tor as the engine for all your internet activity.

6
00:00:35,060 --> 00:00:38,120
so this will be the tor proxy for all network activity.

7
00:00:38,180 --> 00:00:42,200
and then the tor browser also comes installed on tails ready to use.

8
00:00:43,460 --> 00:00:51,440
to actually get online on a tails device, we can hop over to our tails desktop and you'll see you get this error that says it needs to connect to a local network.

9
00:00:51,500 --> 00:00:58,160
so you'll need to be sure to connect any wifi or hardwire any internet into your device to make sure that that works.

10
00:00:58,700 --> 00:01:03,800
so let's go ahead and connect to a network right now and take a look at what tor looks like after doing that.

11
00:01:03,820 --> 00:01:08,200
and once we connect to our wifi, you'll see that tor automatically connects.

12
00:01:08,660 --> 00:01:15,120
and you saw an error page there for just a moment, but it went away and it's ready to use the internet on the device.

13
00:01:15,220 --> 00:01:18,400
now when tor starts, you can also put in bridge information.

14
00:01:18,700 --> 00:01:21,730
that's part of the initial startup settings entails.

15
00:01:21,730 --> 00:01:25,560
so be sure to use that if you need a tor bridge to actually connect to the tor network.

16
00:01:25,660 --> 00:01:39,670
if you're not sure what that is, definitely check out the tor masterclass we have at dark web academy to dive deeper into learning about tor, what it is, how it works, and more about bridges and entry nodes and exit nodes and all the things surrounding tor.

17
00:01:39,670 --> 00:01:42,030
if you have any questions on this, of course, let me know.

18
00:01:42,030 --> 00:01:43,520
otherwise, i'll see you in the next one.
