Can't Edit The torrc?
So how does one edit the torrc?
After I have enabled admin rights and created a password. I go to edit the torrc in the /etc/tor/torr location in the terminal before starting the Tor Connection Assistent.
I put in my (examples)
echo ExcludeNodes {us},{au},{ca},{nz},{gb},{fr},{cn},{ru},{il},{kp},{??} | sudo tee -a /etc/tor/torr
and
echo ExcludeExitNodes {us},{au},{ca},{nz},{gb},{fr},{cn},{ru},{il},{kp},{??} | sudo tee -a /etc/tor/torrc
No parameters are honored or work that I set. I even tried sudo nano /etc/tor/torr and put in my examples manually.
ExcludeNodes {us},{au},{ca},{nz},{gb},{fr},{cn},{ru},{il},{kp},{??}
ExcludeExitNodes {us},{au},{ca},{nz},{gb},{fr},{cn},{ru},{il},{kp},{??}
Nothing has worked I even have tried other config parameters Exitnodes {} StrictNodes 1.
I'm not looking to change anything persitent or for torrc changes to be persitent ever boot.
*I understand the risks of changing the torrc and I know it can be changed somehow as mentioned on your site.
"It is possible to edit the Tor configuration file (torrc) with administration rights but you should not do so as it might break your anonymity."
