Re: Directory servers for a subset of Tor routers

[Silviu Udrea <silvicone@xxxxxxxxx>]

Can i configure TOR to use it with some code so i can choose which exit node i want? Something like this:

TOR_exit_nodes[10];

for( i=0; i<10; i++ )
{

    retrieve_webpage( URL, TOR_exit_nodes[ i ] );

}
This code should rotate 10 TOR_exit_nodes to retrieve some webpages with PHP or _javascript_.

Thanks Comrade - so blocking connections from other countries...is
that something that is built into Tor or would I need a 3rd party
solution? I think i already saw how to prevent the dir server from
advertising itself to the rest of the Tor network in the man pages
(yeah, really wouldn't want to screw anyone else up) but not so
sure on the geographical part.

Thanks again...
