Exit node
An exit node is the last machine on your route, and its address is the only one the site you open ever sees.
Which address a site actually reads
A route can have several hops, and the site is connected only to the last of them. Your own address ends at the first hop and travels no further.
So an exit places you rather than hides you. It answers the question of where, not the question of who.
The exit country sets the clock
A profile does not keep your own timezone when it leaves through another country. The exit country decides both the timezone and the language list the profile reports.
A clock that disagrees with the address is among the first contradictions a fraud check looks for.
| Exit country | Clock | Languages |
|---|---|---|
| Spain | Europe/Madrid | es-ES, es, en |
| South Korea | Asia/Seoul | ko-KR, ko, en |
| Mexico | America/Mexico_City | es-MX, es, en |
How the country is asked
The question goes through the exit itself over an encrypted connection. An answer taken on your own line would describe your own place instead.
Four sources are tried in turn until one of them names a country. When they all stay silent nothing is invented, and the profile keeps the clock it generated for itself.
Kinds of exit
Home
An address on an ordinary subscriber line. Sold by the gigabyte and the hardest kind to tell from a real visitor.
Mobile
An address from a carrier pool shared with real phones. It changes often, and that is what it is bought for.
Hosting
An address from a machine room. Cheap and fast and openly a machine rather than a household.
Your own server
A machine you already pay for, reached through a tunnel instead of bought as a proxy.
Often confused with
A Tor exit relay
Tor gives its last hop the same name, and those addresses are published as a list, so a site can spot one at a glance.
The first hop
Where you enter a route decides nothing about what the site reads. Only the last machine speaks to it.
A fingerprint
The exit answers where. What the browser says about the machine is a separate set of answers, and the two have to agree.
What this does not do
- It does not hide the machine. A moved address with an unmoved clock or fingerprint is worse than no change at all.
- It does not make the address yours alone. Pools are shared, and a mobile address sits among real phones by design.
- Clock and language follow the exit only for countries in the app's own list. Outside it a profile keeps what it generated, and no warning is raised for that case.
- ARMANOS does not sell addresses. The library stores what you bought elsewhere and launches profiles through it.
Check it
Each claim above is one place in the code and one stand.
- The sources asked and how each answer is read
- apps/desktop/src/lib/exitGeo.js
- Live answers recorded, and a refusal moving on to the next source
- apps/desktop/test/exit-geo.js
- The country to clock and language table the app carries
- packages/shared/src/index.js
- The check reads the exit through the launch road
- apps/desktop/test/proxy-check-uses-bridge.js
Questions
- Does the site see every hop?
- Not from the address itself. Some proxies add headers that announce a hop, and that is a property of the address you bought rather than of your setup.
- Why did my profile's clock change?
- Because the exit country changed. The clock follows the country the address answers from, so the two do not contradict each other.
- What if the country cannot be read?
- The profile still opens and keeps the clock it generated for itself, and a warning names it. Nothing is remembered, so the next launch asks again.
- Is the exit the same thing as my proxy?
- With a single proxy, yes. With a chain it is the last one, and that is the only link a site can read.
- How do I see mine?
- The check button on an address row reports the exit address and its country through the same road a launch takes.
