How do I specify exit country in Tor?

Open the folder where you have installed Tor, browse through browser > Tor browser > Tor > data. There you will find a file named "torrc." Open the file with Notepad. At the end of the document, on a new line, write this: ExitNodes US. For example, if you want your exit node to be in China, type CN.

Can you choose location with Tor?

If you need to access a website that is blocked from your country – you can use a Tor Browser. By default, the Tor Browser picks random exit nodes from any country, but it can be configured to use the exit nodes with IP addresses from a particular country only.

Does Tor exit nodes change?

By default, Tor browser randomly chooses which exit node to use when browsing the internet. In some cases, you may need to use specific exit node/s when visiting certain website/s. Such cases may be related to testing, investigation, research, or to a specific need to exit in a certain country or region.

What is exit nodes in Tor?

A Tor exit node is the final node that routes Tor traffic to a destination. Because some Tor traffic can be malicious, you can use the Tor Exit Node Blocking service to block inbound Tor exit node traffic to the Firebox (Fireware v12. 8.1 and higher and Fireware v12. 5.10 and higher).

Does Tor hide your country?

Tor Browser is anonymous in terms of hiding your location and browsing activity — but there are limits. Although they can't see your browsing activity or Tor encrypted data, your ISP can still see that you're using Tor.

Can a country block Tor?

(China is the only country to have effectively blocked Tor, which was possible due to more centralized internet control).

Do I still need a VPN if I use Tor?

A VPN isn't a requirement to use Tor, but it helps a lot. It encrypts your whole traffic, masking it from the ISP. In short, it's much safer to use Tor with a VPN. Not all VPNs offer Tor features in their product.

Should I use a VPN if I use Tor?

Generally speaking, we don't recommend using a VPN with Tor unless you're an advanced user who knows how to configure both in a way that doesn't compromise your privacy. You can find more detailed information about Tor + VPN at our wiki.

Can you be tracked using Tor and VPN?

Yes, the Tor browser hides activities from ISPs. However, VPNs encrypt traffic before it even reaches your ISP. So while Tor may make it more difficult for your ISP to see what you're doing online, a VPN will make it impossible.

How many Tor nodes are compromised?

Can Tor traffic be decrypted?

Tor prevents eavesdroppers from learning sites that you visit. However, information sent unencrypted over the internet using plain HTTP can still be intercepted by exit relay operators or anyone observing the traffic between your exit relay and your destination website.

How do I change my Tor settings?

Which Tor bridge is best?

Obfs4 Bridge is strongly recommended on the Tor official website. All of the analysis below is based on this kind of bridge.

Is Tor automatically VPN?

No, it isn't. Tor is a browser and only encrypts the data transmitting through the browser. A VPN is specific privacy protection software and encrypts all data coming out of a device, whether it comes from a browser or an app. The key difference between a VPN and Tor are their operation methods.
