I have noticed that the "Tor Circuit" list in Tor Browser sometimes shows an incorrect IP (and location) when connected to specific web sites.
I used "StrictNodes 1" in torrc and selected the exit "PrivacyRepublic0001" which is based in France and has an IP address of 178.32.181.96. Usually when I checked the "Tor Circuit", the correct 178.32.181.96 is shown. However, sometimes it showed a different IP of 179.43.168.166 (Switzerland), 192.42.113.102 (Netherlands), and 109.70.100.11 (Austria). 179.43.168.166 is "mccowan", 192.42.113.102 is "Spigen", and 109.70.100.11 is "karfiol". None of these are exit nodes. The odd behavior only happens with certain sites: https://bitcointalk.org/, https://www.cato.org/, https://www.whatismyip.com/ (for example - there must be many more) It does not happen with Google, Gmail, Amazon, Alexa, Yahoo, CNN, BBC, etc. This is nothing to do with any specific exit node. I've tried it with others. For some reason, on a minority of sites, the correct exit node does not show in "Tor Circuits" and, in its place, a non-exit node is shown. Is this a known bug? Or something problematic with certain sites? Why are these sites different? -- tor-talk mailing list - tor-talk@lists.torproject.org To unsubscribe or change other settings go to https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
