How does Tor get Clearnet IP addresses

170 views

Okay, say I want to visit YouTube on Tor. How does Tor get YouTubes IP address? Do I query a DNSserver? Does the Gaurd node query the DNS server? Or is it the exit node? Does Tor ignore /etc/hosts?

The exit node would connect to Youtube in the same way anyone else does.

The only difference between you connecting to Youtube normally and over Tor is when you do it over Tor, you’re going over the Tor network via onion routing.
