UseEntryGuardsAsDirGuards defaults to 1 in torrc.
So if you did not change this default you will use entry guards for tunneling directory connections.
Then there must be some bug given the 4 directory connections. The directory connections all happened before the entry node connection.
torrc:
------------------------------------------------------------ DataDirectory [censored] GeoIPFile [censored] GeoIPv6File [censored] Socks5Proxy [censored]
EntryNodes [censored],[censored],[censored] ------------------------------------------------------------
Oh I see, so they happened before. I wasn't sure about that. In that case the last consensus stored locally must have been many days old. If that's the case you would bootstrap from dirauths then use your guard for tunneling later directory request.
