Hi there, I used the TorDNSEL to verify an ip address of an exit node whether I can sent some kind of traffic through that node and found something is weired. First the information of the node can be found in the cached consensus file on my system with running a tor client. The following is the information i got from the file:
r RaspberryPiNode W0bcalLslxBCGL+ZSEf+rcrB4kg 0i+Gakd+PPsGt7NB80GVzBNnfhA 2014-07-03 00:41:38 188.2.94.252 443 80 s Named Running V2Dir Valid v Tor 0.2.3.25 w Bandwidth=5 p accept 25,110,119,143,443,465,995 The node is claiming that is accepting mail related traffic exit through it, however, we can noticed that this node doesn't come with an "Exit" flag. Therefore, I tried to send a dns query to TorDNSEL to see if the node is in ExitList and the policy is as the same as I seen on my host: The dns query is as the following: dig 252.94.2.188.25.27.196.125.74.ip-port.exitlist.torproject.org And I got the answer "252.94.2.188.25.27.196.125.74.ip-port.exitlist.torproject.org. 1799 IN A 127.0.0.2" from Google Public DNS. Moreover, the answer from TorDNSEL told that the node with the ip address "188.2.94.252" is an ExitNode and allow any smtp traffic to exit through it. However, at the same time, the cached-consensus file doesn't show that the node is published with "ExitFlag". I would like to ask if an Exit Node will comes with a "Exit" flag or not?
