Hi teor,

Thank's for your answer with good explanation. yes it worked for
(Authority.getN(3) + Relay.getN(1) + Client.getN(1) ) . For this i have
installed tor-0.2.6.2-alpha-dev and download newest chutney where exit-v4.i
or exit-v6.i don't exist .
now i can see thorough wire-shark that which server i'm queering.
But i got "Couldn't launch test003c (tor --quiet -f
chutney/net/nodes/003c/torrc): 255" when i use  (Authority.getN(3)  +
Client.getN(1) ) as you mentioned.
and is it also possible to find which authority is acting exit-node?

Regards
Kawsar
