Comment:
The comment Mike added explaining why tor2web mode disables UseEntryGuards
is bogus.
* A tor2web-mode client does not build (client-side) introduction
circuits to its entry guards -- introduction points are chosen by the
hidden service, and tor2web mode connects to them directly when possible.
* tor2web-mode clients are expected to have '''no''' privacy. The only
reason they do not act as relays and use themselves as rendezvous points
is that that would have been too hard to implement. Worrying about a
client being fingerprinted as using tor2web mode is totally silly.
See my bug6888b branch for a comment-fix patch.
