Mystery with Exitnode 4273E6D162ED2717A1CF4207A254004CD3F5307B (176.10.99.200)
Hi, in the last few days I noticed a curiosity with the Exitnode 4273E6D162ED2717A1CF4207A254004CD3F5307B: Every time I call 'https://www.startpage.com', the URL in the Browser changes to 'http://localhost/'. Other browser: same effect. Other sites - no problem. Other Exitnodes - no problem with 'https://www.startpage.com' and other sites. What's going on there …? Regards

It happens to me too, from that exit relay: """ $ torify curl -i https://www.startpage.com/ HTTP/1.1 307 Temporary Redirect Server: nginx Date: Tue, 23 Nov 2021 15:58:56 GMT Content-Type: text/html Content-Length: 180 Connection: keep-alive Location: http://localhost/ Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=63072000; includeSubDomains; preload <html> <head><title>307 Temporary Redirect</title></head> <body bgcolor="white"> <center><h1>307 Temporary Redirect</h1></center> <hr><center>nginx</center> </body> </html> """ I believe we are making a successful request to https://www.startpage.com/, and that is the reply that the webserver is sending us. That is, everything in the Tor side is working as expected, and startpage is sending a response that isn't what we wanted. Maybe it is a bug on their side, or maybe it is some sort of anti-abuse mechanism on their side. --Roger

In the past they sent (from time to time) another page saying: 'temporarily unavailable' or so. I'm using Startpage (over Tor) for many years - redirecting to localhost is new for me. By now I've excluded this Exitnode in the torrc. Thank you for the answer. Regards
