I have questions about the Tor node “freja”.

First, according to https://torstatus.rueckgr.at/, the node is at
194.88.143.66 which is in Italy. Yet WHOIS says the addresses
194.88.142.0-194.88.143.255 are in Pune, India. The last IP from a
‘traceroute’ is 81.25.202.165 and 81.25.202.128-81.25.202.255 is in ‘IT’
(Italy) which suggests that https://torstatus.rueckgr.at/ is correct.

Why would WHOIS inaccurately (I think) say the IP is in India?

Second, according to https://torstatus.rueckgr.at/, “freja” is not an exit
node. But if you use...

StrictNodes 1
ExitNodes freja

...then TBB will load the purple introductory screen “Explore. Privately.”
(I tried with other non-exit nodes and TBB typically gets stuck on
“Requesting Relay Information” and never loads the purple screen).

However, then “freja” will not load any pages.

So if it’s not an exit node, why does the introductory screen load?

Thanks.
