If your Wi-Fi interface is not working, you might experience the following:

  • There is no Wi-Fi menu in the system menu:

  • The interface is disabled because MAC address anonymization failed:

    Notification: MAC address anonymization failed

    In this case, you can disable MAC address anonymization in the Welcome Screen. Doing so has security implications, so read carefully our documentation about MAC address anonymization.

  • The following notification appears:

    Activation of network connection failed
    

Чтобы подключиться к Интернету, можно:

  • Использовать Ethernet-кабель вместо wifi (если возможно). Проводные интерфейсы куда более надежны в Tails, чем wifi.

  • Раздать соединение wifi со своего телефона. Можно также раздать по USB-кабелю: такое подключение иногда называют USB tethering.

    См. инструкции для:

    Tails cannot hide the information that identifies your phone on the local network. If you connect your phone to a:

    • Wi-Fi network: the network can see the MAC address of your phone.

      This has security implications that we explain in our documentation on MAC address anonymization. Some phones have a feature to hide the MAC address of the phone.

    • Mobile data network: the network is able to know the identifier of your SIM card (IMSI) and the serial number of your phone (IMEI).
