Luckily Tor is set to keep the same guard relay basically forever so attacks are much easier.

I believe the guard nodes get changed periodically but remain the same for weeks unless you clear the state.

If you use bridges they take the place of a guard node and you will want to share otherwise it’s easy for an observer to associate inputs and outputs.

Using a vpn to connect to a bridge can provide some additional protection of your origin IP even if your bridge/guard mode is discovered.
