Imagine you're entering a country at the airport. The border agents seize your laptop and force you to unlock it so that they can violate your privacy, treat you like a criminal, and [insult your humanity](https://www.reddit.com/r/privacy/comments/epblc8/australian%5Fborder%5Femployee%5Fhands%5Fphone%5Fback%5Fto/). Is that the world you want to live in? Whether you use Windows, macOS or Linux, now there's a tech solution for better privacy: **HiddenVM**. **HiddenVM** is a simple, one-click, free and open-source Linux application that allows you to run Oracle's open-source [VirtualBox software](https://virtualbox.org/) on the [Tails operating system](https://tails.net/). This means you can run almost any OS as a VM inside the most anti-forensic computing environment in the world. Works where Tails does. The VM will even connect to full-speed pre-Tor Internet by default, while leaving the Tor connection in Tails undisturbed. To ensure anti-forensic deniability of your VMs, you can place your persistent HiddenVM installation - containing all VirtualBox binaries, VMs, and HiddenVM itself - in a [hidden VeraCrypt volume](https://www.veracrypt.fr/en/Hidden%20Volume.html), and only mount it in the amnesic Tails. If you set it up correctly, when your computer is turned off all anyone can plausibly see is a blank Tails USB and a 'wiped' hard drive full of meaningless data, or a default booting decoy OS in a partition that you can create. How does it feel to have *no* trace of your entire operating system - whether it's Windows, macOS or Linux - ever touch your hard drive? Now you can find out.
