Comment (by dcf): Here are some blog comments by users confused by guards. https://blog.torproject.org/blog/tor-browser-55a5-hardened- released#comment-144848 Is it normal or ok for Tor browser to maintain the same entry node all the time. I have noticed that my entry node has been persistently the same node (same ip address) no matter the time of day or if I request a new Tor server node. I find this troubling https://blog.torproject.org/blog/tor-browser-551-released#comment-155538 Why do I connect using only the first node 88.198.9.16 !!! DEU! This can not be changed either by restarting or change of identity. Can I still trust? Ver .: Tor-Browser 5.5.1 https://blog.torproject.org/blog/breaking-through-censorship-barriers- even-when-tor-blocked#comment-197050 Since I installed the latest TOR update i get always connected to the same entry server in sweden whose ip is 155.4.59.251. Why is it so? I try to answer these questions by linking to https://www.torproject.org/docs/faq#EntryGuards, but IMO the FAQ does not explain the situation well. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/16665#comment:33> Tor Bug Tracker & Wiki <https://trac.torproject.org/> The Tor Project: anonymity online _______________________________________________ tor-bugs mailing list tor-bugs@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-bugs
