commit 07b3028db74af246ca98c2d3a86d5efde9aa33c2 Author: David Goulet dgoulet@ev0ke.net Date: Wed Sep 2 14:53:39 2015 +0200
Prohibit the use of one entry node with an HS
In a nutshell, since a circuit can not exit at its entry point, it's very easy for an attacker to find the hidden service guard if only one EntryNodes is specified since for that guard, the HS will refuse to build a rendezvous circuit to it.
For now, the best solution is to stop tor to allow a single EntryNodes for an hidden service.
Fixes #14917
