Becoming Anonymous LIke a Pro: The Inner Workings of TOR

Sorry, but your real IP is not the entry node! These are two completly different things. The entry node is the first node you connect to. So your real IP can only be seen when the entry node (Again, that’s not you!) and the exit node work together. The second node is not required to examine your IP. The entry and exit nodes can identify your traffic by special anlysis, so that they know that both work in the same chain. Then they know your real IP.

It can be seen here:

  • TOR-browser (You)
  • Entry node: Germany
  • Second node: Sweden
  • Exit node: Germany

To capture my real IP both nodes from Germany have to be compromised!
