<p>ditto, have seen no sustained DDoS since launched. Anyone wanting to break in to a tor mirror will likely be good enough to not be noticed (who do you think would want to compromise tors privacy by supplying modified bins?).</p>

<div>Personally I keep my mirror on a separate dedicated box on a separate network, always a plus to make it a relay as well.<br /><br />On Wednesday, October 22, 2014, PW <<a href="mailto:pw@pw.is">pw@pw.is</a>> wrote:<br />

<div>This machine serves as a tor website and dist mirror, relay and several other mirrors (perhaps tails, kali and other security related sites).</div>
<div>Load is not a problem, see your question 3) I do mix everything to net get clear stats per mirror.</div>

<div> </div>
<div>My nodes did not get any (or I did not see any ;-)).</div>
<div>But it is exposed like any other machine on the world wide web. So be sure to implement operational security, e.g. <a href="https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/OperationalSecurity">https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/OperationalSecurity</a></div>

<div> </div>
<div>I do have it running, combined with other mirrors in order to get washy traffic stats for anyone watching.</div>
