Gaurd Node in torrc file

Hello I have some questions related to tor.

  1. How to disable Guard node in torrc file or by using stem
  2. Is there any method in stem where I can specify my Exit Node. I know a method in torrc file but I don't know how to do it in stem or using controler. for example.

I want this because I want my entry node to be change for every circuit and Exit to be same

controller.set_options({'__DisablePredictedCircuits': '1',
'MaxOnionsPending': '0',
'newcircuitperiod': '999999999',
'maxcircuitdirtiness': '999999999'})

also for if possible in this part it will be good too. mean if I pass my nodes as an argument here

controller.new_circuit()

To disable Guard nodes in the torrc file, you can add the following lines:

UseEntryGuards 0
NumEntryGuards 0

To specify an Exit node in the torrc file, you can add the following line:

ExitNodes $fingerprint

where $fingerprint is the fingerprint of the Exit node you want to use.

You can use the set_options method of the Controller class to set the UseEntryGuards, NumEntryGuards, and ExitNodes options as follows:

from stem import Controller

with Controller.from_port() as controller:
    controller.authenticate()
    
    controller.set_options({
        'UseEntryGuards': '0',
        'NumEntryGuards': '0',
        'ExitNodes': '$fingerprint',
    })

To specify the Exit node when creating a new circuit, you can use the extend_circuit method of the Controller class as follows:

from stem import Controller

with Controller.from_port() as controller:
    controller.authenticate()
    
    controller.new_circuit()
    controller.extend_circuit('$fingerprint')

where $fingerprint is the fingerprint of the Exit node you want to use.
