Comment:

 Hidden services do _not_ connect specifically to Exit nodes. They stay
 inside the network.

 They can use Exit nodes as a "Regular" node of the hidden service
 connection process. But there is no concept of "exiting the network" with
 an hidden service.

 Also remember, tor client (which includes hidden service) will pick a
 Guard node and keep it for a while so you will always see the first
 connection to be the same node over and over again.

 With `TestingTorNetwork`, many many timings are changed within tor to
 accelerate many interactions between tor nodes so it is not like the real
 public network where for instance you would keep your Guard for around 3
 months.
