I'd say it's a tradeoff. You may have more trust of your own entry guard,
but you're losing the benefits of guard rotation and possibly making it
easier for de-anonymizing attacks to occur. From the man page: "We
recommend you do not use these — they are intended for testing and may

I too would like to know, if using one's own relay as an Entry Node
WITHOUT any of the Proxy shenanigans is good practice to maintain
one's anonymity. I want to hard code my relay in torrc as the only
entry node. Should this be done?

Using a relay as a SOCKS proxy is fine for the local network, just don't
open it to the outside world.
Using your relay as an entry uses it as part of the circuit.
Using your relay as a local proxy creates a new circuit (without using your

Hi,
I've seen some time ago a discussion about using your own Tor Relay as
an Entry Node, but I'd like to have your opinion in the following two

1) You point at your node when you're in the same network where the node
resides (I mean al
