Before starting this tutorial, here’s what you need to know:
Geofencing on Tor (or banning specific fingerprints ect…) is for very specific usages. For example, i’m in Japan and I obvously want, to avoid Japan Internet blocking rules, then I block all Japan relays.

Step 1: Edit torrc file

Code:
sudo nano /etc/tor/torrc

Step 2: Add theses lines

Code:
StrictNodes 1

Code:
ExcludeNodes {CC},{Fingerprint},{Nickname}

You can also only block exit-nodes, if you don’t want to apply theses rules on guard and relay nodes with:

Code:
ExcludeExitNodes {CC},{Fingerprint},{Nickname}

Step 3: Save & restart Tor

Code:
sudo service tor restart

After theses settings were applied, all relays from your wishes will be blocked at the guard, relay and exit node level.

this is helpful but how to get the CC Fingerprint and the Nickname of the nodes you want to block?

Thanks. I can find the CCs, but where do I find the fingerprints and nicknames?
