[tor-talk] ExcludeExitNodes doesn't take effect at all.

Hi all,

I try to test the ExcludeExitNodes parameter of tor, so I use the
latest exit-lists from here to construct the list for using in
ExcludeExitNodes:

https://collector.torproject.org/recent/exit-lists/

The command for obtaining the ExcludeExitNodes list is as follows:

$ curl -s https://collector.torproject.org/recent/exit-lists/ | grep
-E -m1 'href=\"[0-9-]+\"' | tr '"' '\n' | grep -E '^[0-9-]+' | xargs
-r -I{} curl -s https://collector.torproject.org/recent/exit-lists/{}
| grep -Po '(\d+\.){3}\d+' | paste -sd,

Then I use the above result as the node-list of ExcludeExitNodes, at
the same time, I set the following parameter in my torrc:

StrictNodes 1

Finally, I start the tor client for surfing the internet, and find
that it still can use the IPs listed in the  ExcludeExitNodes as the
exit node.

Any hints for this issue?

Regards
