Can you choose your Tor exit node?
If you want the sites you browse to think you're connecting from a certain location, you can add custom entry and exit nodes to your configuration file.
How often do Tor exit nodes change?
ipdata maintains an up-to-date list of the official exit nodes, and combines that with a proprietary list of unofficial Tor IPs. The data is aggregated every 15 minutes and updates every hour, meaning you'll get the most accurate Tor detection possible.
How many Tor exit nodes are there?
Currently, there are eight directory authority nodes, and their health is publicly monitored. The IP addresses of the authority nodes are hard coded into each Tor client. The authority nodes vote every hour to update the consensus, and clients download the most recent consensus on startup.
