simplified: there can be two reasons for inbound (OR) IP != exit IP: a) the exit used https://2019.www.torproject.org/docs/tor-manual.html.en#OutboundBindAddressExit or some form of NAT b) the exit relay uses an tor client to route its traffic back into tor This exit was doing (b), I think you are referring to (a) which is perfectly fine. -- https://mastodon.social/@nusenu
