I need to install NordVPN into Linux Tails. Followed the instructions to perform in a Terminal window for the normal NordVPN https://nordvpn.com/download/linux/ :



sudo apt-get install /home/amnesia/Desktop/nordvpn-release_1.0.0_all.deb


After a few seconds, confirmed I wished to proceed, then got:

Since Linux Tails forces all connections through Tor, it won't work. However, this blog post says you can use a VPN with Tor Browser (less safe, they say) or Whonix (more safe, they say).



Therefore, I suggest you review the pros and cons of Tor Browser on another Linux vs Whonix, and decide which suits your needs better.
