Comment:

 Thanks for the fast reply!

 I create a PR to add this under {{{Alternate designs that we don't do
 (yet)}}}: https://github.com/torproject/webwml/pull/20

 Might however also fit in any of:
 - Tor Browser (general)
 - Advanced Tor usage
 - Anonymity and Security

 The comment arma mentioned was:
 > I really like the new feature that allows us to see where the used
 relays are located.
 > That made me see a security threat - sometimes all three relays are
 based in the same country or the entry and exit. I think there should be
 additional code added to make sure this never happens, imagine the chaos
 when exit and entry node is from the USA and controlled by NSA. Overall
 the Tor Browser 4.5-alpha-1 is great.

 Replying to [comment:8 traumschule]:

 this did not change in the last 4 years.

 Tor's behaviour has not changed.

 > If not what should be added exactly? I was under the impression that
 tor's defaults are sensible and meddling with the circuit path does not
 improve my anonymity / privacy.

 In general, changing Tor's path selection makes your client look different
 from other clients. Picking your entry and exit in different countries is
 not a good defence, because it only defends against adversaries that are
 unable to rent servers in other countries.

 Before changing the website I'd like to confirm that Tor's behavior on
 this did not change in the last 4 years. If not what should be added
 exactly? I was under the impression that tor's defaults are sensible and
 meddling with the circuit path does not improve my anonymity / privacy.
