**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).**
Not all Tor Exit nodes are equal. This is mostly due to what type of "exit policy" their operator applies to them.
Not all Tor Exit nodes are equal. This is mostly due to what type of "exit policy" their operator applies to them. 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 blacklists. So how do you know if you are on a clean one or a bad one? It is not that simple.

#### This process is very easy:
#### If you are using Tor Browser Bundle (not on Whonix Workstation, on Tails, or on the Host/Guest OS):
This works whether you're using Tor Browser on a Host OS, in a VM, with Whonix or Qubes OS.

- Check the amount of blacklists the Tor Exit node is in. Ideally, it should only be in two. If it is in other lists, such as Spamhaus ZEN, you might run into issues:
- DAN TOR

- If the Exit Node is "clean" (in few lists), proceed to go back to the first tab and open the site you want to try a sign-up for.

- Open Tor Browser
- Open the first tab and navigate to a site revealing your IP like <https://browserleaks.com/ip>

### The Real-Name System:
Unfortunately, not using your real identity is against the ToS (Terms of Services) of many services (especially those owned by Microsoft and Facebook). But don't despair, as explained in the [Requirements][Pre-requisites and limitations:], it's 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[^1]'[^2]). **Fortunately, ToS cannot override laws** **(yet)**.

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. **Remember this guide only endorses this for German users residing in Germany.**

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