Re: Excludenodes not considered?

["Germershausen" <germershausen@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Oh lala. The tor developers should fix this issue. This is a extremly
high security risk for people who need anonymity while using the
internet from inside a "torture country" and use a rule like
ExcludeNodes CN,HK, but are connected to fake servers hosted by the
"torture governemnt" that uses a manipulated country identifier to hunt
enemies. This could be a question of beeing imprisoned or not for those
people.
