Note that LXC likely does not give you the security properties that you
expect.

issue this in your container to shutdown the host:
echo b > /proc/sysrq-trigger

There is a bug open on this:

There are some weird properties in trying to do full-bandwidth.
Deterministic it for sure is not.

The IP is not mentioned in atlas:
https://atlas.torproject.org/#search/94.142.240.243

Nor in: https://torstatus.blutmagie.de/

Though there is:
https://torstatus.blutmagie.de/router_detail.php?FP=aa0d167e03e298f9a8cd50f448b81fbd7fa80d56

https://atlas.torproject.org/#details/AA0D167E03E298F9A8CD50F448B81FBD7FA80D56

Is "Tor 0.2.5.9-rc" not outdated? You might be missing some features there.

I see similar issues with other nodes btw, eg:
https://atlas.torproject.org/#details/BDB26EF60A419089CA3AA0891AF1681455285D48

Though that is not an exit, which gives it a completely different metric.

Are you also sure that coloclue likes you playing exit? (I can only
assume so ;)

Greets,
 Jeroen
