Hello Damian, Thanks for your kindly explanation. I have tried method c. you mentioned, and found that the returned exit node list with specified exit policy is not as the same as the result i obtained by quering "https://check.torproject.org/cgi-bin/TorBulkExitList.py";. The mismatch of the results makes me confused. Can you help me to overcome this problem? thanks.
