Re: [tor-relays] a characteristic of recent attacks?

My relay's (8F6A78B1EA917F2BF221E87D14361C050A70CCC3) heartbeat messages show a steady increase. This could be because I only get HB every 6 hours.

In addition, if someone knows of an effective way to turn such things aside at less cost than be simply leaving them to tor to deal with, I'd love to know about it, too, though I suspect there may be no such method.

I use connection limits in my firewall. At the moment the counters show 154M connections dropped from 595 IP addresses vs 13M connections let through.

This measure has helped the relay run smoother but it still gets flagged as overloaded.
