10. How do I know that I'm connected to the TOR network and my IP is hidden?
On the bottom right corner of the QT client you can see a TOR indicator. When it turns green you have joined the TOR network with a typical TOR address. If you hover the mouse over the TOR icon you will see your TOR address being displayed
(see picture below).
You can also check your IP address by going to Help->Debug Window, Click on “Console”, then type “getinfo”, you’ll see your IP address
(also see below wallet images ).
Also you can run this getpeerinfo command HELP -> Console
From this, you will see your local IP and Tor network IP. Your public IP (from your Internet Service Provider) is never published anywhere.
Sometimes the Tor button may not be green. When this happens it means that your IP address is either 127.0.0.1 or 0.0.0.0 (local) in the peer network. No one will ever know your public IP! Whether it is an onion address or 0.0.0.0/127.0.0.1, your public IP will never be revealed. The only connection that is ever made is ALWAYS over the TOR Network. Some people may have an unstable network causing the symbol to change between grey and green. This usually occurs at the time where the onion address changes or at the beginning of the connection.
11. Does the DeepOnion Wallet act as an Exit Node on The Tor Network, are there any legal risks?
Deeponion wallet is not exit node and you don't have to fear legal issues.
