I'm having some trouble in setting the country of the tor exit nodes. Following this link, by adding the bellow entries to the ./Data/torrc

ExitNodes {ru}
StrictNodes 1

an exit node from the specified region should be used. However, geo locating the exit nodes shows that none are from Russia. Upon picking a new identity the exit node always remains in the EU or US. Why is that?

The right syntax in 2022 are for your sample, the follow:

ExitNodes {ru} StrictNodes 1

The follow should be more save. The additional {??} should protect you for Server whith unknown IP-country relation.

ExitNodes {ru}, {??} StrictNodes 1

Changing to a more recent version of TOR(>= 4.5) allows for specific exit node selection. The issue may have been caused by high latency; in the previous versions of TOR circuits with a certain delay may have been disabled.
