I've been getting emails from OVH about "Detection of an attack" on my relays, it happened very occasionally but has been a bit more frequent recently. Anything I could/should do? Also is my first time replying to a mailing list ever, hopefully I replied to the right address?

So my relay is apparently being attacked
by Keifer Bly 13 Nov '20

13 Nov '20

Hi, So twice this week I've gotten this email from OVH: Dear Customer, We have just detected an attack on IP address 51.68.197.220. In order to protect your infrastructure, we vacuumed up your traffic onto our mitigation infrastructure. The entire attack will thus be filtered by our infrastructure, and only legitimate traffic will reach your servers. At the end of the attack, your infrastructure will be immediately withdrawn from the mitigation. For more information on the OVH mitigation infrastructure: http://www.ovh.com/world/anti-ddos/ Regarding the relay at https://metrics.torproject.org/rs.html#details/79E3B585803DE805CCBC00C1EF36… I am wondering, are relays being ddosed a normal thing? Thank you. --Keifer

Cheap Servers? There MUST be a catch
by Dr Gerard Bulger 10 Nov '20

10 Nov '20

Worried about dominance of OVH for relays and exits? How about Google! Setting up a fast server is SO cheap on their https://cloud.google.com/ platform, it is tempting to set up relays, if not exits there. Looking at their T&Cs they do not seem to mention TOR or banning running a proxy, but a generic list of don't do bad things. I have two ubuntu servers doing running other programmes on there now, and so far cost me $0.78 with fixed IP4 addresses. I have not worked out how to attach IPv6 yet. Of course set DNS of the machines not to be Google's So tell me why this is such a bad idea. Gerry

A way to reduce spam and brute attacks...
by rush23＠gmx.net 10 Nov '20

10 Nov '20

Hello guys, is there any way to stop or if not reduce the spam, brute force attacks that are leaving my exit? Well port blocking or destination IP blocking is one way but without any relevant information except this hard, right? => https://cleantalk.org/blacklists/51.15.80.14 Stopped my exit for about 2-3 weeks awaiting lower number of complaints but nothing changed. In the end I have to migrate from exit to relay unfortunately. Regards Torproxy

Questions About The Traffic Of My Tor Relay
by h.c2233 04 Nov '20

04 Nov '20

I am wandering why my middle relay download much more trafic than upload. It downloads 8 times more than upload, which is quite unreasonable. What's more, the net work speed is always lower than 1KB/s, while my bandwidth is 1GB/s. I just can't find out what's going wrong.
