What is Tor exit node?
Also: tor exit relay
A Tor exit node is the final relay in the Tor network — the server that sends your traffic to its destination. The destination site sees the exit node's IP, not yours. Exit node IPs are published openly by the Tor Project, which makes Tor traffic straightforward to detect.
Tor routes traffic through at least three volunteer relays, encrypting each hop. Only the exit node's IP is visible to the destination, and the full list of running exits is published in the Tor consensus.
Because exit IPs are public and refreshed continuously, detecting Tor is mostly a matter of keeping an up-to-date list across both IPv4 and IPv6.
How IPLogs handles it
IPLogs merges the Tor Project's bulk exit list with the onionoo API for IPv6 coverage, refreshed hourly, and fires a high-confidence signal on any match.
