are you running the config for test purposes, or is there a good reason why using always the same EntryNode?<br>no judgment, really just want to learn!<br><br><br>greets<br><br><br><br><div>> Date: Mon, 17 Oct 2011 06:24:21 -0400<br>> From: fatigue@Safe-mail.net<br>> To: tor-talk@lists.torproject.org<br>> Subject: [tor-talk] Strange TOR connection behavior? EntryNodes/Strict<br>> <br>> I'm a little new to TOR. I run it in linux and start and stop it from a terminal window. I have changed my torrc to include the following:<br>> <br>> <br>> EntryNodes poohbear<br>> <br>> where 'poohbear' is the entry node I wish to use.<br>> <br>> This setup works, however when I monitor the traffic with wireshark, I see that tor is making many https connections to other tor nodes prior to establishing a secure connection with the poohbear node.<br>> <br>> Why is this the case? Shouldn't the EntryNodes operator limit connections to the poobear node, and only the poohbear node?<br>> _______________________________________________<br>> tor-talk mailing list<br>> tor-talk@lists.torproject.org<br>> https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk<br></div> </div></body>
