Hi,

TCP timestamps are created using the systems clock, is that correct?

Would it make sense to,
- when Tails starts: save system clock
- before Tor starts: randomize system clock (+/- a random amount of
milliseconds [and seconds?])
- when Tails is shut down: undo system clock randomization
?

That should at least prevent linkage between Tails and non-Tails sessions?

Cheers,
Patrick
