Tails 4.10 and Tor Browser 9.5.4 Released

The specialized Linux distribution Tails 4.10 (The Amnesic Incognito Live System) has been released. Tails is based on Debian and is designed to provide anonymous internet access. Anonymity in Tails is achieved through the Tor network. By default, all connections except those routed through Tor are blocked by a packet filter. User data persistence between sessions is protected with encryption.

An ISO image is available for download, sized at 1 GB, and can be run in Live mode.
