How many exit nodes does tor network have? From https://metrics.torproject.org/relayflags.html , I see more than 2000 exit relays. However `❯ curl --silent -x "socks5h://127.0.0.1:9050" https://check.torproject.org/torbulkexitlist | wc -l ` shows 1144 . Is it because about half of them are not trusted enough to be assigned as exit nodes even though the relay operator is ok with being exit nodes ? -- Regards, Bala

It's nothing about trust. Those two metrics show you different things: the relay flags show you the exit numbers on average per day while the bulk exit list shows you the IP addresses used by exit relays. It's not surprising that the numbers are so far apart given it is possible to run up to 8 relays per IP address (and IPv4 address space is scarce and expensive). Hope this helps, Georg

Danke Thanks, Balakriśnar. Right then all of my channeis were open and that's via A1->DTelekom->T-com "Home box"? Well They are holding us on a cable not optics but coaxial. I am often sick because when the Homebox is dissconected (coax+that =,no signal) they use it by opened AP WPA(not 2)-PSK protected so i could see this:1749 and Bannedquit:A/N ? Yesterday evening. Thank you for noticing and have a nice day. I appreciate that. Ivan Pavlović, prof.soc | prof.kroat On Mon, Sep 9, 2024, 18:20 Balakrishnan Balasubramanian <nhml-tor@balki.me> wrote:
