Yes, please see https://www.torproject.org/docs/faq#ChooseEntryExit -
you will want to set the exit nodes.

Here's what I read at the above link

We recommend you do not use these — they are intended for testing and may disappear in future versions. You get the best security that Tor can provide when you leave the route selection to Tor; overriding the entry / exit nodes can mess up your anonymity in ways we don't understand.



What don't they recommend?  Is it the "ExcludeExitNodes" they're talking about that they don't recommend you use or does it apply to Entry and Exit also?
