why non-exit node becomes last in the circuits?
Hello. On Tails: Today i found that my jabber messenger (with server in *.onion) use onion circuit with three nodes, and two times from two exit-nodes were very strange. https://metrics.torproject.org/rs.html#details/92E807AC5E23CCD9FE623EA4DC020... https://metrics.torproject.org/rs.html#details/AC5CECEF6AF649F2A7F047D102FE9... They havnt exit-flag. Why it happen?

I believe the point of using a .onion service is that you don't need to go through an exit relay (which is a relay connecting you to non tor services through the "normal" internet) as your service is already directly connected to the tor network, so you can directly build a circuit to it instead of building a circuit to an exit and then connection to your destination. My mental model for a .onion service is a dedicated exit allowing only that service, I have no idea how far from reality this is :)

Onion services don't need to use exit nodes, since their traffic doesn't need to leave the tor network. -- Nick
