Tails is an [operating system](/glossary/#operating-system-os) that makes anonymous computer use accessible to anyone. Tails is [designed](https://tails.boum.org/about/index.en.html) to leave no trace of your activity on your computer, unless you explicitly ask it to. It achieves this by running from a DVD or USB independent of the computer’s installed operating system. Tails comes with [several built-in applications](https://tails.boum.org/doc/about/features/index.en.html) pre-configured with security in mind, and all anarchists should know how to use it for secure communication, research, editing, and the publication of sensitive documents.

Internet traffic, including the IP address of the final destination, is encrypted in different layers like an onion. With each hop along the three relays, an encryption layer is removed. Each relay only knows the step before it, and after it (relay #3 knows that it comes from relay #2 and that it goes to such and such a website after, but does not know relay #1).

This means that any intermediaries between you and relay #1 know you're using Tor but they don't know what site you're going to. Any intermediaries after relay #3 know that someone in the world is going to this site. The web server of the site sees you coming from the IP address of relay #3.
