Hello again,
indeed, the port 9050 is closed, but not filtered. I've set up a drop rule in the VPS firewall( Parallels Plesk Panel) on this port, but it's not working fine.
I am amazed by all the amount of this kind of traffic, more than 700 packets/second. According to Kent Backman, this is the clickfraud net called "Rotpoi$on" (a lot of info at https://b.kentbackman.com/2013/04/15/rotpoion-botnet-powered-by-thousands-of -servers/)
Maybe I'll be able to block all these incoming connections, but I'm afraid that overall relay performance will decrease drastically because all the filtering work...
iptables DROP is cheap.
Best, -Gordon M.
