Release of the Tails 4.24 distribution

The release of a specialized distribution kit Tails 4.24 (The Amnesic Incognito Live System), based on the Debian package base and designed to provide anonymous access to the network, has been published. Anonymous exit to Tails is provided by the Tor system. All connections, except traffic through the Tor network, are blocked by default by the packet filter. Encryption is used to store user data in the save user data between runs mode. An iso image has been prepared for download, capable of working in Live mode, with a size of 1.1 GB.

The new version switched to the Tor Browser 11 browser branch, the stable release of which has not yet been formed (instead of the expected stable release of Browser 11.0, another test release of Tor Browser 11.0a10 was published, based on Firefox 91.3 ESR and the alpha version of Tor 0.4.7.2).

Other changes in Tails 4.24 include a more prominent confirmation dialog when attempting to reinstall the system on a USB stick with Persistent Storage enabled. Improvements have been made to the Tor Connection wizard, which allows you to connect from censored networks through bridged gateways to bypass blocking. Improved time zone selection interface. Reduced CPU usage when displaying the download status in the update installation interface.
