Hi Andres,
Not at all. That's how I'm running my own relays. Just run the **combined.sh** on each individual VM and you'll be fine.
As for the ORPort, yes, I agree. There are ways to read the torrc file and set the ORPort automatically. I will incorporate that into the scripts in future versions. My original intention was to put something simple together with minimum complexity that anyone with little or no expertise can understand and modify if necessary without breaking the code.
I've also set up a [Discussion Board](https://github.com/Enkidu-6/tor-ddos/discussions) for the repository on github in case you have any questions, suggestions or simply need further help.

Hi Chris
We run all the 12 dotsrc relays on a single host with many IP addresses. Would we need to change anything?
Btw, you can make the scripts find the all the OR ports by running something like ‘ss -pl | grep tor’.

Background: A set of bash scripts used to apply iptables rules to fight the current DDoS attacks. They require no dependencies to install except iptable/nftables which all Linux flavors already have and require no particular expertise. The issue was discussed here: [issue 40093](https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/community/support/-/issues/40093) Change log: Some modifications due to a change in the nature of the attacks. - Re ordered rules for more efficiency and reducing the load - Removed the hashlimit rule as it puts more load on the system with not much overall benefit as the attackers have adapted to it and it reduces the size of the block list. - Reduce the number of allowed concurrent connections to 2 if you're not a relay. - Use of remove.sh cron script at regular intervals (optional) will give relays a chance to create up to 4 connections if they need to. ******- Created a new cron file **refresh-authorities.sh** to refresh your allow-list with the most up to date IP addresses for the authorities and snowflake. Should be run daily. - Removed an unnecessary line in the update files. - Modified Readme.MD file to reflect new changes. The new modifications have been tested for two weeks now and the systems are running smoothly with no ill effect. You can read more and download here: [Enkidu-6 tor-ddos on Github](https://github.com/Enkidu-6/tor-ddos) To avoid occasional NTor drops a minimum NumCPUs 16 in torrc is recommended. P.S. The NumCPUs option is unfortunately poorly documented. It really has nothing to do with the number of CPUs you have. It's about the number of worker threads Tor will create to deal with decryption of onionskins. So you can have two CPUs and still set NumCPUs to 16. _______________________________________________ tor-relays mailing list tor-relays@lists.torproject.org <mailto:tor-relays@lists.torproject.org> https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-relays
