Fwd: [tor-talk] Algorithm that chooses exit nodes

What I find strange is, I always get an exit node from the same region on this planet. I never had an exit node, say from Russia or Hong Kong or Japan, but always from the same region. This algorithm does not seem to chose it really randomly. Thus I´m curious how TOR choses exit nodes!

The fork of TBB and tor is way overdue. Time to update our git remotes to track the forks and think about "user visibility into tor and TBB operation" addons. On Sun, Aug 21, 2016 at 11:05:02PM +0300, Cari Machet wrote:

Unfortunately google turns up the best search. https://www.google.com/#newwindow=1&q=how+TOR+choose+exit+nodes You get to choose... a country anyway: http://www.wikihow.com/Set-a-Specific-Country-in-a-Tor-Browser Rr
