Also, please consider using a provider that is not overcrowded with Tor nodes already like OVH.

I can recommend Wedos.cz, they offer KVM VM's with truly unlimited bandwidth (100MbE) for around 7€ a month, (DDoS protection up to 10GbE included), and are not any of the "14 eyes" countries since they are based in Czechia.

https://wedos.cz/en/

Exits should use a restricted exit config, or only allow 80, 443 and 853 altogether, Guards and Bridges are no problem at all.

All the best,

LOL - "for good measure".

Yes, responding to automatic fail2ban e-mails is "for good measure" and very intelligent.

Sorry, got no words regarding this except I hope your provider gets their shit together and that these attacks stop.

All the best,
