en	Test your Wi-Fi

en	Problems with Wi-Fi are unfortunately quite common in Tails and Linux in general. To test if your Wi-Fi interface works in Tails:

en	Open the system menu in the top-right corner:

en	[[!img doc/first_steps/desktop/system.png link="no"]]

en	Choose Wi-Fi Not Connected and then Select Network.

en	After establishing a connection to a local network, the *Tor Connection* assistant appears to help you connect to the Tor network.

en	Create a Persistent Storage (optional)
pl	Erstellen Sie einen verschlüsselten beständigen Speicherbereich (optional)

en	[[!img install/inc/infography/create-persistence.png link="no" alt=""]]

en	You can optionally create an encrypted Persistent Storage in the remaining free space on your new Tails USB stick to store any of the following:

en	Personal files

en	Some settings

en	Additional software

en	Encryption keys

en	The data in the Persistent Storage:

en	Remains available across separate working sessions.

en	Is encrypted using a passphrase of your choice.

en	<div class="attack">

en	The Persistent Storage is not hidden. An attacker in possession of your USB stick can know that there is a Persistent Storage on it. Take into consideration that you can be forced or tricked to give out its passphrase.

en	<div class="caution">

en	It is possible to unlock the Persistent Storage from other operating systems. But, doing so might compromise the security provided by Tails.

en	For example, image thumbnails might be created and saved by the other operating system. Or, the contents of files might be indexed by the other operating system.

en	Other operating systems should probably not be trusted to handle sensitive information or leave no trace.

en	Create the Persistent Storage

en	1. Choose <span class="menuchoice"> <span class="guimenu">Applications</span>&nbsp;▸ <span class="guisubmenu">Tails</span>&nbsp;▸ <span class="guimenuitem">Configure persistent volume</span></span>.

en	1. Specify a passphrase of your choice in both the Passphrase and Verify Passphrase text boxes.

en	We recommend choosing a long passphrase made of five to seven random words. See this article about memorizable and secure passphrases.

en	Click on the Create button.

en	Wait for the creation to finish.

en	The list of features of the Persistent Storage appears. Each feature corresponds to a set of files or settings that can be saved in the Persistent Storage.

en	We recommend you to only turn on the Personal Data feature for the time being. You can turn on more features later on according to your needs.

en	Click Save.

en	Restart and unlock the Persistent Storage

en	Shut down the computer and restart on your new Tails USB stick.

en	In the Welcome Screen:

en	[[!img install/inc/screenshots/welcome_screen_with_persistence.png link="no" alt="Welcome to Tails!"]]

en	Select your language and keyboard layout in the <span class="guilabel">Language & Region</span> section.

en	In the **Encrypted Persistent Storage** section, enter your passphrase and click **Unlock** to unlock the Persistent Storage for the current working session.

en	Click Start Tails.

en	After 15&ndash;30 seconds, the Tails desktop appears.

en	1. You can now save your personal files and working documents in the <span class="guilabel">Persistent</span> folder. To open the <span class="guilabel">Persistent</span> folder choose <span class="menuchoice"> <span class="guimenu">Places</span>&nbsp;▸ <span class="guimenuitem">Persistent</span></span>.
