Felix, Guards' network speeds are assessed based on the view of the network, not the client. What this means for your North Korea example is that the government couldn't affect path selection by slowing down the network, as Tor will still pick the same guards. Tom > On 01 Nov 2015, at 11:10

Please clarify "secure"? Tor has its own built-in DNS resolution that will ignore client-side settings. If you're referring to relay DNS: I strongly recommend running a DNS resolver locally, and enabling DNSSEC. That's as secure as you can get them. Tom evervigil...@riseup.net schreef op 05
