The release of Tails 6.18, a specialized distribution known as The Amnesic Incognito Live System, has been announced by the developers as part of the Tor project. This distribution is built on the DEBIAN 12 package base, featuring the GNOME 43 desktop, and is specifically designed for anonymous browsing using Tor tools. By default, all connections outside of the Tor network are blocked by the packet filter. User data is encrypted for security when saved between sessions. The ISO-image of Tails 6.18, which can be booted in Live mode, is available for download at a size of 1 GB from the official website.
One of the new features in Tails 6.18 is the ability to use network bridges through a tool called Webtunnel for connecting to the Tor network. Webtunnel simulates regular web traffic and can be used in cases where the OBFS4 transport method is not effective. The release also includes updates to the Tor Browser to version 14.5.5 and Thunderbird to version 128.12.0.
