Re: [Trisquel-users] A few worries about Tor

No. The first node is passed an IP address where to forward your data (which  
is encrypted), the node doesn't forward your IP though, the 2nd node does the  
same thing, but the first node doesn't get what the final exit nodes IP is.  
The final exit node can decrypt your data because you have used there key to  
do the encryption. You have also used a key of the 2nd node so the first node  
doesn't know the IP address of your exit node.

Long story short the exit node can see your data if it is unencrypted (not  
using SSL) but they can't identify your IP because they don't have it  
(unencrypted anyway- and it's encrypted with a key that the exit node does  
not have).
