Does Tor identify
each node by its nickname? for example, in torrc, a series of commands such as:
ExcludeNodes
nickname,nickname,...
EntryNodes
nickname,nickname,...
ExitNodes
nickname,nickname,...
But when we see at
http://torstatus.kgprog.com, (sorted
by their names) we can find a bundle of nodes with the same nickname “unnamed”,
see following:
If I want to
remove a node located in China whose nickname also is “unnamed”, I
just add “ExcludeNodes unnamed” to torrc. How does tor know which
node I want to remove, perhaps, it removes a node in Europe which I want to
keep.
Can anyone explain
why?
Thanks
