Comment (by dcf):

 Here are some blog comments by users confused by guards.

   https://blog.torproject.org/blog/tor-browser-55a5-hardened-
 released#comment-144848
   Is it normal or ok for Tor browser to maintain the same entry node all
 the time. I have noticed that my entry node has been persistently the same
 node (same ip address) no matter the time of day or if I request a new Tor
 server node. I find this troubling

   https://blog.torproject.org/blog/tor-browser-551-released#comment-155538
   Why do I connect using only the first node 88.198.9.16 !!! DEU!
   This can not be changed either by restarting or change of identity.
   Can I still trust?
   Ver .: Tor-Browser 5.5.1

 even-when-tor-blocked#comment-197050
   Since I installed the latest TOR update i get always connected to the
 same entry server in sweden whose ip is 155.4.59.251. Why is it so?

 I try to answer these questions by linking to
 https://www.torproject.org/docs/faq#EntryGuards, but IMO the FAQ does not
 explain the situation well.
