Hi, i forgot to mention that i have /etc/tor made persistent, so my tor config will work when i reboot as it does for exit nodes, however entry nodes it does not work, this would solve a very serious problem with tails with unpersistent guard nodes but this appears to be a massive bug that has gone unaddressed.
