See our documentation on Onion Circuits.

OpenPGP applet

Using the OpenPGP Applet, you can encrypt and decrypt the clipboard using OpenPGP.

See our documentation on OpenPGP Applet.

The universal access menu allows you to activate the screen reader, screen keyboard, large text display, and other accessibility technologies.

See our documentation on accessibility.

Keyboard layouts

Das Menü zur Tastaturbelegung erlaubt es Ihnen die Tastaturbelegung und die Eingabemethode für nicht-romanische Schrift zu ändern.

System menu

In the top-right corner of the top navigation bar, the system menu allows you to manage your settings, connect to a Wi-Fi network, and restart your computer.

Networking

From the system menu, you can choose which Wi-Fi network to connect to.

See also the documentation on connecting to a network.

System settings

Click on the Settings button to edit your system settings.

These settings will not be saved when you restart Tails.

Screen locker

Click on the Lock Screen button to lock your screen with a password.

  • Falls Sie beim Starten von Tails ein Administrationspasswort einstellen, können Sie den Bildschirm mit Ihrem Administrationspasswort entsperren.

    Your screen will automatically lock after some time if you have set up an administration password. To disable this behavior, execute the following command:

    gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.screensaver lock-enabled false

  • Anderenfalls können Sie ein Passwort zum Entsperren des Bildschirms einstellen, wenn Sie den Bildschirm zum ersten Mal sperren.

Suspend

Click on the Suspend button to suspend your computer.

While suspended, your computer is not computing anymore but is still powered on, like if it was standing still but still alive.

To resume from suspend and go back to the Tails desktop, push the power button of your computer.

If you remove your Tails USB stick while suspended, your computer will not shut down immediately and will only shut down when resuming.

An attacker with physical access to your computer and capable of finding your screen locker password or setting up a cold-boot attack can compromise your Tails while suspended.

For more security, shut down Tails entirely.

Restart

Click on the Restart button to restart your computer.

Shutdown

Click on the Power Off button to shut down your computer.
