So nothing to be concerned about. Cloudflare-protected sites display a
different non-exit node Tor IP shown in "Tor Circuit".

Slightly related question: using the same French exit node
(178.32.181.96), on https://www.ip2location.com/ the "Tor Circuit" is
correct, but the site itself shows the IP as 37.187.129.166 (which is also
in France). Any ideas why?
