Do Tor circuits always use 3 nodes? It seems like it should randomized/configurable (maybe 3 or 4 by default), such that no nodes can know whether they're an entry node or somewhere in the middle.
- schoen 7y agoThey do always use three nodes. https://2019.www.torproject.org/docs/faq.html.en#ChoosePathLength https://2019.www.torproject.org/docs/faq.html.en#ChoosePathL... If you're using public Tor nodes, as opposed to bridges, it's not really feasible to prevent nodes from knowing whether they're being used as middle nodes (they can just check whether the previous node corresponds to another node in the public directory consensus).
