Hi,

If this feature does cause problems, or if your app needs to bootstrap only from the
authorities (Tails time syncing? [2]), the fallback directory mirrors feature can be
disabled using the tor config option "UseDefaultFallbackDirs 0".

Thanks for the heads up!

(This is now tracked there on Tails side:
https://labs.riseup.net/code/issues/11285)

Thanks for letting us know the Tails issue number.

For completeness, very-power-users can use the following torrc options to select their own fallback directories:

UseDefaultFallbackDirs 0

FallbackDir <details>

As discussed already, if they don't add any FallbackDir lines, they will bootstrap from the authorities.
