From the Tor Project FAQ <https://www.torproject.org/docs/faq#ChooseEntryExit>:
"We recommend you do not use these — they are intended for testing and may disappear in future versions. You get the best security that Tor can provide when you leave the route selection to Tor; overriding the entry / exit nodes can mess up your anonymity in ways we don't understand." Now, it's a little bit confusing for a novice, let me explain why. People both on this mailing list and else where on the Internet are often referring to excluding "bad/evil" exit nodes (I'm aware that it's a bit ambiguous concept) and yet there is this entry in Tor Project FAQ. So how someone like me, a newcomer to Tor, Linux and networking, should know which exit nodes are suspicious? I came across this website <http://torstatus.blutmagie.de/index.php> which flags couple of nodes as "Bad Exit" - should I exclude them? How reliable information on this website are? Is there any authoritative list of suspicious exit nodes? -- Tomasz Moskal <ramshackle.industr...@gmail.com> Encrypted mail preferred. Key ID: 2C323C82
