I was wondering whether Wrong Planet blocks tor nodes, and lo, behold, I survived past only an extra cloudflare captcha or two!

Tails is great. I actually have an old version on my flashdrive that I use for college papers

TAILS intrigues me, but I wonder about the legality. Surely it would only be a matter of time before your ISP realised that you were using software to conceal your online activity?

Except that it isn't illegal. You are bouncing packets around networks you have permission to be bouncing them through. The only thing I could think of that might hinder that is your ISP putting stuff into their contract against you doing that. Even then it would only be a breach of civil law and the worst that would happen is a fine for breach of contract.

Yeah it's totally legal, just don't do illegal stuff on it, same as normal internet. If the FBI wanted to know who I am, though, they would have...difficulty?
