Guide

Start here

Plug in, start from USB, connect. The same steps as the printed Quick Start card.

DRAFT — for review. This text is a working draft and must be approved (legal/compliance) before launch.

1. Plug in

Shut the computer down completely, then plug your PRIVACYBOOT device into a USB port directly on the computer (not a hub).

2. Start from USB

Switch on and immediately press the boot-menu key, usually F12, F9, Esc or F2 (this varies by model). Choose the USB device. If the computer starts its normal system instead, restart and try again, or check the compatibility guide.

3. Connect and work

On the welcome screen choose your language and keyboard, then start. Connect to a network and follow the Tor connection assistant. Use the included tools. If you set up Persistent Storage, only save what you need.

When you finish, shut down from the system menu and wait until it is done before removing the device.
