Description

Hi,

I really liked your Tails distribution and I love the most secure VPN
service out there (CryptoStorm), however as described on FAQ it’s not
possible to use VPN, however it would really increase a lot the anonymity
of Tails.

I have some background with Linux and programming. Can you please give me
some details about what prevent it from working? I could try solve it and
if you agree add to main repo.

Thanks.

Please read the FAQ again https://tails.boum.org/support/faq#index21h2 : it’s a choice of us not to allow VPN, because they don’t provide anonymity.

Well, the FAQ clearly states that we are interested in supporting two specific use cases of a VPN, so it might be that this ticket is a duplicate of another one we have on our plate.

acaster, are you trying to solve one of these two problems? If yes, which one, and how exactly?
