Last week I experimented with OpenSSL 1.0.1c and saw a huge increase in traffic. Unfortunately, my hardware was not up to the task and I started seeing timeouts and other errors.

I have decided to replace the server with a much beefier one in the very near future. Meanwhile, I installed nginx as a reverse proxy on the Directory Port.

nginx config:

server { listen 154.35.32.5:80; server_name _;

location / { proxy_pass http://154.35.32.5:81; } }

Tor: DirPort 80 DirListenAddress 154.35.32.5:81

It was very easy and nice to configure Tor Directory behind a reverse proxy. The DirListenAddress came super handy!! Nice design.

Currently the directory port is responding blazing fast: http://faravahar.rabbani.jp/tor/status/all.z

Can someone poke at the directory port and let me know if they can find any issue with serving Tor in this fashion?

If this works fine, I will try to configure the directory port on a fancy DDoS mitigation gear next.

All the best, SiNA
