Roger,
You've confirmed my thoughts. I suspected that some people were bulk scanning relays/exits looking for open proxies too which is why I was curious if any other operators were seeing this. Thus far today I've got 175,000 connection attempts from 220 distinct IP addresses. I think I'll be sending some abuse emails and writing a new fail2ban rule!
Great! Except, please hesitate before sending those abuse mails -- isn't that exactly the sort of thing that makes it hard for people to run Tor exits? :) We've only got this one Internet.
