<p><font size="-1"><font face="Arial">A set of bash scripts used to
apply iptables rules to fight the current DDoS attacks. They
require no dependencies to install except iptable/nftables

<p><font size="-1"><font face="Arial">Update Notice:</font></font></p>
<p><font size="-1"><font face="Arial">The scripts have been updated
to modify some rules and include a new rule. Also a few
additional scripts have been added to make monitoring and
cleanup of the block list easier or automated.</font></font></p>
<p><font size="-1"><font face="Arial">If you are already using the
scripts, please update them to the new rule set. Simply use
one of the scripts - depending on your current set up of Tor -
in the update folder. It automatically updates your rules,
keeps your current block list and requires no reboot or
restart of Tor and there will be no downtime.</font></font></p>
<p><font size="-1"><font face="Arial">If you're not using the
scripts, please take a look at them and if you like, give them
a try and provide feedback. All feedback is welcome and
appreciated and will help fine tuning the rules to make them
more effective.</font></font></p>

your system run at a steady RAM and CPU usage and stay green.
Even if your system shows as overloaded on the relay search
occasionally, the system will continue to run with no problem
and will go back to green within two or three heartbeat
reports.<br>
