I have edited my torrc file on my Tor Client to exclude several countries, but I keep getting the United Kingdom in my pathway. My torrc file is below:
DataDirectory C:\Users\Myname\Tor Browser\Browser\TorBrowser\Data\Tor GeoIPFile C:\Users\Myname\Tor Browser\Browser\TorBrowser\Data\Tor\geoip GeoIPv6File C:\Users\Myname\Tor Browser\Browser\TorBrowser\Data\Tor\geoip6 ExitNodes {PL}, {RO}, {LU}, {DK}, {CH}, {NO}, {AN}, {LI}, {IS}, {FI}, {NL}, {HU}, {BG} ExcludeNodes {US}, {CN}, {FR}, {UK}, {ES}, {IT}, {AU}, {HK}, {RU}, {PT}, {IL}, {IE}, {DE}, {CA}, {BE}, {NZ}, {PR}, {MX}, {KP}, {KR}, {GR}, {DJ}, {JP} StrictExitNodes 1
When I click on the green onion after selecting a web site, I keep getting the United Kingdom as one of my nodes.
You have to add the line
StrictNodes 1
and then it should work, as it prohibits Tor to use nodes that you excluded, even if it means it cannot establish a curcuit to the site you are trying to load.
