[tor-talk] Guard Selection

[spaceman+tor-talk at antispaceman.com]

My guard is Geoff2 and is failing lots of circuits. Looked it up on tor
atlas and found this

Anyway that I can configure Tor so as not to use nodes with the not
recommended flag (without having to resort to exclude nodes)?

This particular node seem to be preventing me from accessing hidden
services. I pretty certain this node is hostile and not sure why it is
still receiving traffic from the network and I certainly don't want it
as my guard.
