On a linux machine I ran lsof -i while running tor just cuz; and I saw this plaintext URL that tor connected to, It persists even after i restart it or change identity, it is probably harmless but still is there some kind of event going on?

    tor.defcon.org is considered a guard node, and your browser likely chose to prefer that one to bootstrap itself.

      Pipes your traffic straight to NSA node, so your fed can make sure you are safe

        Think of your fed as a guardian angel. That works for the government. And no intentions to guard you. Or any good intentions at all.
