-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hey, My guard node was DDoS'd for about 15 minutes on December 17. My inner paranoid thought this was related to the ongoing crackdown on hidden services (from the authorities, or whoever else) but now I'm not so sure.

Hi *,
I'm running a non-exit Tor node for a few months now on a virtual server hosted in a professional datacenter.
That's the node: https://globe.torproject.org/#/relay/4C246EA9C950B872FD77F761CEAAB41D93D9764...
Yesterday, December 25th, the support wrote me, that my server is under a DDoS attack with 2GBit/s lasting over more than two hours. So, the hoster black holed my traffic to protect the other customers.
The hoster wanted to know which services I'm running and told me that if I continue running Tor and further attacks will happen, then I would have to bear the costs. Eventually, I took down the Tor node to avoid further confrontation.
Now I seek for your interpretation of this event: - Has there been more recent incidents against Tor nodes? - How can I investigate it? - How should one react to a hoster? I mean they could have made up the whole thing...
Looking forward to your comments Chris _______________________________________________ tor-relays mailing list tor-relays@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-relays
