I'm a Tor newbie. I've installed tor
and tor-browser
on Ubuntu 12.04
machine. It launches well and seems to work as expected. I wanted to set my exit node in the country of my choosing and found the ExitNodes
directive followed by {us}
should do it. So I added ExitNodes {us}
to the very end of my /etc/tor/torrc
and did a sudo service tor restart
. I restarted the tor-browser
but when navigating to https://dnsleaktest.com/, it still tells me I'm somewhere else (in Switzerland). Why is this and how do I use the ExitNodes
correctly?
EDIT 1
The repo I got my instance from is deb-src http://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org precise main
5.135.158.101
as returned by ipchicken.com but dnsleaktest.com gives me46.165.230.5
tor-browser_en-US/Browser/TorBrowser/Data/Tor/torrc
, not the one in/etc/
.
