TOR Question: Do the official entry points change every so often?
Reason i ask is i dont get on often, but did this morning just to get
updates ( using the bundled Firefox thingie, not a service or
anything, and all default settings ) and it refused to connect.
Everything was timing out affording to the log. Wondering if my ISP
was doing something, tried the snowflake bridge, again, timeout.
Tried another bridge set ( obfs ) and it did connect, then updated..
Now it works without bridges.
I would have thought that as long as the project itself was alive,
the main entry points would be stable?
Typically, your client should pick a guard node (entry point) and use it for an extended period of time (say, 3 months).
If you take long between Tor sessions, it can be that yout Tor instance has outdated circuitry information and is trying to figure out the current state of the network.
Normally i do it once a month, but could have easily forgot this summer. So might have hit that 3 month zone. I just assumed that ( much like DHT ) there were a few well known entry nodes that everyone hits first, it and then collect more for next time once 'in'.
Ill have to just be more diligent on doing monthly updates.
