  7. Overview
  8. Right now, Tor user can manually exclude a node of all the part of
  9. circuits created using the directive ExcludeNodes.
  10. This proposal makes this exclusion, less restrictive, allowing to
  11. exclude a node only on the exit part of a circuit.
  12. Motivation
  13. Helping the integration into vidalia (tor exit branch)or other tools,
  14. of features to exclude a country for exit without reducing
  15. circuits possibilities, an privacy.
  16. This feature could help people from a country were many sites
  17. are blocked to exclude this country for browsing, giving them a
  18. more stable navigation.
  19. Add the possibility for the user to exclude the current used exit
  20. node.
  21. Implementation
  22. ExcludeExitNodes is similar to ExcludeNodes except it's only
  23. the exit node which is excluded for circuit build.
  24. Tor doesn't warn if node from this list is not an exit node.
  25. Security implications:
  26. Open also possibilities for a future user bad exit reporting.
