The changelog is not entirely clear to me, first it says "major bug in *entry* guard selection" later it says "Actually look at the Guard flag when selecting a new *directory* guard". #17772 [1] is named: "We don't consider the Guard flag when picking a *directory* guard" Does that affect only directory guards or entry+directory guards or does it depend on the UseEntryGuardsAsDirGuards setting which is on by default? thanks [1] https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/17772 -- tor-talk mailing list - [email protected] To unsubscribe or change other settings go to https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
