Tork Circuits and Exit Nodes
Hello
My idea was that within TorK is should be possible to create a TOR circuit consisting with my favourite servers and as well to define the Exit Node? Is that not possible? Or is there an other possibility to do that in Icognito (with a GUI:-) ? Thank's a lot! John |
Wouldn't that defeat the whole purpose of tor ? .. why would you want to ?

Some servers are considered to be secure and other less. The possibility to define
an exit node is probably even more important. John |

From a technical perspective, all exit nodes eavesdrop on what you do so none of them should be trusted (in practive, however, very few of them does anything malicious with your data). Blacklisting untrusted exit nodes hence implies blocking all of them, which means that you cannot use the Tor network (except for reaching hidden services). The only reasonable way to protect yourself is to learn how to use end-to-end encryption (GPG, https, OTR, etc..) in a secure manner (i.e. verify certificates) for everything that's sensitive. |

1. I assume that my favourite server has to be dragged to "Circuits"... But why does the new exit node server not appear under "Circuits"? What am I doing wrong? 2. Under "Circuits" sometimes a single server/path is listed per line. Sometimes three are 3 servers/pathes listed per line. Does that mean in the fist case my TOR traffic is routed over one/1 TOR server and in the second case my traffic is routed over 3 servers? 3. Routig/Entry Guards (only 1 server per line/entry) What is the purpose the servers listed here? Thank you very much in advance for any help! John PS Yes I did read the TorK document available under www.anonymityanywhere.com/tork/ :-) |

1. simply drag entry guards "X" into an empty space in the circuit list, 2. then drag some other random node "Y" to "X", making it into "X,Y", 3. and lastly drag an exit node "Z" to "X,Y" to get "X,Y,Z", which is a complete circuit ready for use. Quote:
