[OPSEC/Computer] How do you force tor to connect offshore?

I'm worried because a few times when I visited check2ip while on tor it showed the country I connected from.

Keep retrying a new identity.

You can exclude exit nodes in your country using this method:

If you are using windows, edit the following file with notepad:

C:\Users\your-user-name-here\Desktop\Tor Browser\Browser\TorBrowser\Data\Tor\torrc

Add the following line to the end of the file (example is to exclude exit nodes in the United States):

ExcludeExitNodes {us}

Save the file.

Start the Tor Browser Bundle. You should now never see an IP address from the US when using a check IP website.
