<span style="font-family:Verdana"><span style="font-size:12px">hi. Sorry and i hope you don't mind but could you be very specific about what exactly 'abcd.com' and <fingerprint>.exit mean in real words for me? is 'abcd.com' a site one desires to go to? Then, what is 'fingerprint'? And, where do you find or perhaps i should ask, how do you find this, these fingerprints?<br />
Sorry for being so dense. Thanks</span></span></div>

The "<a href="http://abcd.com" target="_blank">abcd.com</a>" in that example is any website you want to visit, followed by a dot, the fingerprint of the exit you want your traffic to exit from, and then ".exit". The fingerprint of a router is its unique identifier, and can be found in the "Network Map" window of Vidalia by right-clicking on the desired router's name, selecting "copy", and then "fingerprint". They are also available on the status websites, notably <a href="http://torstatus.blutmagie.de" target="_blank">http://torstatus.blutmagie.de</a></div>

<div>
So, for example, to visit "<a href="http://torproject.org" target="_blank">torproject.org</a>" and route your traffic through the "blutmagie" exit, you would enable torbutton and point your browser to <a href="http://torproject.org.6297b13a687b521a59c6bd79188a2501ec03a065.exit" target="_blank">http://torproject.org.6297b13a687b521a59c6bd79188a2501ec03a065.exit</a></div>
