<p>Here is the list of possibilities (this is a general list and many of those countries might not have Exit nodes at all): <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/https://b3rn3d.herokuapp.com/blog/2014/03/05/tor-country-codes/" class="uri">https://web.archive.org/web/https://b3rn3d.herokuapp.com/blog/2014/03/05/tor-country-codes/</a></p>

<p><strong>Skip this if you are using a VPN/Proxy over Tor (tho you can also do the same checks with a VPN exit node if you want).</strong></p>
<p>Not all Tor Exit nodes are equal. This is mostly due to what type of “exit policy” their operator applies to them.</p>
<p>Some Tor Exit nodes are seen are more or less “clean” and will only show up in the Tor Exit nodes lists. Some other Tor Exit nodes are seen as “dirty” and will show up in dozens of various blocklists. So how do you know if you are on a clean one or a bad one? It is not that simple.</p>

<p>Unfortunately, not using your real identity is against the ToS (Terms of Services) of many services (especially those owned by Microsoft and Facebook). But dont despair, as explained in the <a href="#pre-requisites-and-limitations">Requirements</a>, its still legal in Germany where the courts have upheld up the legality of not using real names on online platforms (§13 VI of the German Telemedia Act of 2007<a href="#fn413" class="footnote-ref" id="fnref413"><sup>413</sup></a><a href="#fn414" class="footnote-ref" id="fnref414"><sup>414</sup></a>). <strong>Fortunately, ToS cannot override laws</strong> <strong>(yet)</strong>.</p>
<p>This does not mean that it is illegal in other places but that it might be a breach of their Terms of Services if you do not have the law on your side. <strong>Remember this guide only endorses this for German users residing in Germany.</strong></p>

<p>On my side, we strongly condemn this type of real-name policy. See for instance this Wikipedia article giving some examples: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facebook_real-name_policy_controversy" class="uri">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facebook_real-name_policy_controversy</a> <sup><a href="https://wikiless.org/wiki/Facebook_real-name_policy_controversy">[Wikiless]</a></sup> <sup><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facebook_real-name_policy_controversy">[Archive.org]</a></sup></p>
