Hi,
As some of you might have noticed, we have a high load situation on the network for a couple of weeks now affecting in particular onion services (but not only them).[1]
We recommend Onion Services operators to enable our Proof of Work (PoW) defense[2][3] and finetune their torrc[4].
As a little help, defaults from 0.4.8.11
