Thanks. Then I'm a little perplexed about why it's preferable to use a limited number of entry guards to avoid traffic analysis. If the connection between me and the entry guard is encrypted, and all I'm telling the entry guard is "please pass this encrypted stream to next specified tor server", what is the danger? Can the entry guard see my traffic, or do they just see another layer of encryption?
