Re: [tor-talk] How to choose to get connected to a specific relay?



i notice one thing that if u try and specify in ur web browser the the exitnode by this way...all ur browser will use the same exit node...
what i mean :
if u write  http://www.torproject.org.6297b13a687b521a59c6bd79188a2501ec03a065.exit and u open another tab with another wesite the new website will come from the same exitnode of the first the one of  http://www.torproject.org.6297b13a687b521a59c6bd79188a2501ec03a065.exit

hi. Sorry and i hope you don't mind but could you be very specific about what exactly 'abcd.com' and <fingerprint>.exit mean in real words for me? is 'abcd.com' a site one desires to go to? Then, what is 'fingerprint'? And, where do you find or perhaps i should ask, how do you find this, these fingerprints?
Sorry for being so dense. Thanks
The "abcd.com" in that example is any website you want to visit, followed by a dot, the fingerprint of the exit you want your traffic to exit from, and then ".exit". The fingerprint of a router is its unique identifier, and can be found in the "Network Map" window of Vidalia by right-clicking on the desired router's name, selecting "copy", and then "fingerprint". They are also available on the status websites, notably http://torstatus.blutmagie.de
 
So, for example, to visit "torproject.org" and route your traffic through the "blutmagie" exit, you would enable torbutton and point your browser to http://torproject.org.6297b13a687b521a59c6bd79188a2501ec03a065.exit
