Hi all, I was wondering if there is a way to force Tor to build a two-hop path/circuit through torrc. It seems that both "Pathlen 2" and "PathlenCoinWeight 0.0" are depreciated, is there a substitute for them? Thanks, -Ray

Option one: modify DEFAULT_ROUTE_LEN and recompile.
Option two: use the control protocol to EXTENDCIRCUIT the two hops you had in mind.
That said, please only do this as part of a research exercise: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/TorFAQ#Youshouldletpeoplec....
Using two hops without entry guards will greatly reduce your anonymity: https://www.torproject.org/docs/faq#EntryGuards and using entry guards with one extra hop will also be quite bad.
