Every NUM seconds consider whether to build a new circuit. (Default: 30
seconds)
-[[NodeFamily]] **NodeFamily** __node__,__node__,__...__::
- The Tor servers, defined by their identity fingerprints,
- constitute a "family" of similar or co-administered servers, so never use
- any two of them in the same circuit. Defining a NodeFamily is only needed
- when a server doesn't list the family itself (with MyFamily). This option
- can be used multiple times; each instance defines a separate family. In
- addition to nodes, you can also list IP address and ranges and country
- codes in {curly braces}. See the **ExcludeNodes** option for more
- information on how to specify nodes.
-
[[OptimisticData]] **OptimisticData** **0**|**1**|**auto**::
When this option is set, and Tor is using an exit node that supports
the feature, it will try optimistically to send data to the exit node
// Please keep them that way!
The following options restrict the nodes that a tor client
-(or onion service) can use while building a circuit:

-These options can weaken your anonymity by making your client behavior different from other Tor clients:

[[EntryNodes]] **EntryNodes** __node__,__node__,__...__::
A list of identity fingerprints and country codes of nodes
MiddleNodes and ExcludeNodes is treated as excluded. See
the **ExcludeNodes** option for more information on how to specify nodes.

[[StrictNodes]] **StrictNodes** **0**|**1**::
If StrictNodes is set to 1, Tor will treat solely the ExcludeNodes option
as a requirement to follow for all the circuits you generate, even if
