 Replying to [comment:24 teor]:
 > Tor2web clients don't use guards for any HS circuits. They're all direct
 connections to a randomly selected rend point. With no bandwidth
 weighting.

 For the historical record, they do use bandwidth weighting, except in the
 case where they additionally set the Tor2webRendezvousPoints config option
 (which I assume few of them do).
