I was inspecting my node and just saw that it has a very high number of connections.
It jumped from the normal 6000-7000 to more than 17000 simultaneous connections.
Looking at the connections with `ss` I see some hosts with over 1000 connections while the majority is usually bellow 10.
Here are some stats with the IP and the associated number of simultaneous connections:
Please do not publish IP addresses of potential tor clients/onion services!
Is it normal for a single host to produce so many connections?
This is a known and ongoing issue, the tor developer worked on a fix to mitigate the impact of such aggressive clients.
