Hi guys. I've a relay running on Tor. It's an exit node now. And I noticed it has an entry guard flag which is great. But probability of it being an entry relay is 0%. How can I utilise this server to be an entry relay? How does one configure this and how does it work?

Exit relays are not used as guards because their bandwidth is more valuable if it is used as exit capacity, as there are many more non-exit than exit relays on the network.
