Case C – Live USB is suitable as a portable system that can be used on different computers, such as at a relative’s home, ensuring consistent browsing restrictions without requiring software installation.
Live USB Manual
We provide a detailed manual for creating Live ISO and using bootable Live USB flash drive.
Basic technical knowledge is required to write the Live ISO image to a USB flash drive. Configuring automatic boot from a USB device requires changes to the system’s BIOS or UEFI settings.
System requirements are minimal. Older hardware with a Celeron-class CPU and at least 2 GB of RAM is sufficient and recommended.
Privacy and Data Handling
Advertising, tracking, and analytics components are not included in the system. Use of open-source code ensures transparency and trust.
We do not collect, transmit, or sell user data. No ads or analytics are embedded in the system.
Data persistence is explicit and intentionally limited. Only data that is deliberately configured for persistent storage is retained between sessions.

Is Live USB built for free?
Custom Live ISO compilations are provided free of charge. The systems are built using free and open-source software under their respective licenses, with redistributable firmware included for hardware compatibility. We also offer an optional configuration service for a small fee to better customize the system for kids.

Live USB stores only data that is explicitly configured for persistence. This includes accepted informed consent on websites and login credentials. These items are stored to ensure the system is easy to use for children and does not require repeated actions on every session. All other changes are discarded when the system is shut down.
What USB flash drive is recommended?
Recommended USB drive is SanDisk Ultra Fit USB 3.2 Flash Drive 64GB. Minimum required flash disk size is 2GB. However, USB drive with a larger size have higher read speed. Use USB 3.0 or higher port to insert the flash drive.
Can Live USB run in a virtualized environment?
Yes. However, the system is designed to run from a USB flash drive for full functionality without requiring access to the host system. When running in a virtualized environment, e.g. VirtualBox, you may experience limited screen resolution (not full screen). To enable persistent storage, Live ISO must be attached as a disk rather than as a CD-ROM in a virtual machine.
