Comment (by arma): Replying to [comment:18 cypherpunks]: > What is supposed to happen if the guard flag is dropped while the client is connected? I'm not sure what the code does, but I expect that it would leave existing circuits alone, and opt to use a different first hop when making future circuits. > What is supposed to happen if the guard is set manually? Will tor refuse to build circuits? If you put a relay in your EntryNodes list, Tor should never care whether it has the Guard flag. See the code snippet from asn above where it checks {{{routerset_contains_node(options->EntryNodes,node)}}}. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/17773#comment:21> 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
