Hello Tor users,
Help me with a problem please. I have a
small exit/backup & directory VPS in Finland [1]. This last week the
server (and Tor) have been overwhelmed with non-Tor IP addresses. This
may be a small version of a DoS attack. I took the server down for a
few days but when I restarted it the attack was there before Tor users.
Eventually, the load caused kernal crash.
I noticed this last week, that my Consensus Weight had dropped from 5500 to 68.
Does anyone have an efficient way to defeat this ongoing attack?
