I am inclined to run Tails through a virtual machine so that I could chain two VPNs. One running through the host Mac osx and one more running from inside the virtual machine that's running Tails.

However on Tails website, it says that host operating systems likely uses swapping which copies part of the RAM to the hard drive. Is there a command or program that prevents swapping on Mac osx?

  • Are you using VMware Player or VirtualBox ? Also, what is the space you reserved for your VM ?

  • The question is about swapping, not about information security. It just so happens to be about Tails, but it could have been any other OS. Voting to move to SuperUser.

    @ChristianCollier: StackExchange is actually composed of a network of different Q&A each one dedicated to a specific topic. It happens that some questions are a bit cross-topics, so it's up to the community to try to help you to determine where you could get the most pertinent information. Here is about IT Security, Super User is about end-user computing, personally however I would tend to think that Unix & Linux would most closely match your question. As a side note, you can see the full listing of other sites here, it is not limited to IT.

    As stated in my previous comment, this question seems specific to the Unix part of OS-X and would therefore be more suited on Unix & Linux.
