Tor project FAQ entry
"[https://www.torproject.org/docs/faq#ChooseEntryExit Can I control which
nodes (or country) are used for entry/exit?]" states if one so chooses one
should use !StrictEntryNodes 1 for !EntryNodes and !StrictExitNodes 1 for
!ExitNodes. However, the [https://www.torproject.org/docs/tor-manual-
dev.html.en Tor Man Page] for the development version states one would use
!StrictNodes 1 for both !StrictEntryNodes and StrictExitNodes.
I realize the Tor FAQ is referring to the stable version of Tor, but that
fact is not clear and may be confusing to some people. Maybe it would be
helpful to make a note in the FAQ entry that the settings are for use with
the stable version? Granted this sentence from the FAQ entry "''We
recommend you do not use these'' â they are intended for testing and
may disappear in future versions." seems to make an attempt to warn users
but I think a more clear explanation may be helpful.
