What on earth is causing so many circuit creation requests in such a short timespan?
One possibility, if i recall correctly, is that the Tor that comes with the PirateBrowser bundle is configured to build single hop circuits.
Make sure that these defaults are still set in your relay:
The DDOS - because that's what it obviously is - managed to kill my Pi-based node last night, so I've finally restarted with all these except RefuseUnknownExits 1, just because of your caveat.
I had some of the statistics already enabled, so it's continuing to collect those.
Is there a way to give Tor a hard memory cap, so it won't chew up all available RAM on the system?
AllowSingleHopExits 0 AllowSingleHopCircuits 0
You can also try RefuseUnknownExits 1 but maybe auto is better
And these may help sketch the circuit storms: EntryStatistics 1 ExitPortStatistics 1 ConnDirectionStatistics 1
