Setup Up TOR Bridge with Tails on Proxmox

In the digital age, online anonymity has become increasingly important for many individuals. With the rise of surveillance and censorship, it's more crucial than ever to have tools that can help protect our privacy and security. One such tool is Tails, a portable operating system that utilizes the Tor network to encrypt all internet traffic and prevent unwanted snooping. In this tutorial, we will explore how to set up Tails on Proxmox, a popular virtual machine manager.

Before we begin, it's essential to understand what Tails is and why it's valuable. Tails, short for The Amnesic Incognito Live System, is an operating system that is designed to provide anonymity online. It achieves this by encrypting all internet traffic and explicitly denying any connections that aren't routed through the Tor network. This means that even if your device or network is compromised, your online activities will remain private.

To set up Tails on Proxmox, we'll need to follow a few simple steps. First, download the Tails ISO image from the official website. You can do this by clicking on the 'Run Tails in a virtual machine' option under 'Other options.' Once you've downloaded the ISO, you can upload it to your Proxmox node.

To upload the ISO to Proxmox, right-click on your node and select 'Create VM.' Click on the 'ISO Images' tab and upload the saved Tails image. You'll also want to name your VM at this point, so be sure to give it a unique identifier.

Next, log in to your Proxmox installation and click on the storage where you want to save the image. Make sure to follow the steps on this page to verify a correct installation.

Once you've uploaded the ISO and set up your VM, you can proceed with creating the virtual machine. To do this, click on the 'Create VM' button and follow the prompts to configure your VM's settings.

Finally, start your new Tails VM and enjoy the peace of mind that comes with knowing your online activities are protected by the Tor network.
