Description

Apparently some users were using the ‘close circuit’ feature of Vidalia.

Onion Circuits does not have that feature, but maybe because it is kind of a bug in Tails situation, as we state on the website:

https://tails.boum.org/support/faq/#torrc

For example, as mentioned in the Tor Browser FAQ, using ExcludeExitNodes is not recommended because “overriding the exit nodes can mess up your anonymity in ways we don’t understand”.

Maybe we can add some note somewhere in the documentation about this.
