is this a possible unreported bug in the tor browser 6.0.3 on tails 2.5 live?
just for clarification, i experimented and added these commands:
ExitNodes {CH}
StrictNodes 1
either one by one or all at the same time to these files (to no avail):
/usr/local/lib/tor-browser/TorBrowser/Data/Tor/torrc
/etc/tor/torrc
/lib/live/mount/overlay/etc/tor/torrc
the tor browser simply doesnt pick up the new variables.
i should also add that setting ExitNodes dynamically at the command line:
tor --ExitNodes "{CH}"
generates these messages:
root@amnesia:/home/amnesia# tor --ExitNodes "{CH}"
