Hello all, I just got the following in my tor logfile: [warn] Your Guard GrmmlLitavis ($8C00FA7369A7A308F6A137600F0FA07990D9D451) is failing a very large amount of circuits. Most likely this means the Tor network is overloaded, but it could also mean an attack against you or potentially the guard itself. Success counts are 105/214. Use counts are 71/74. 194 circuits completed, 9 were unusable, 80 collapsed, and 9 timed out. For reference, your timeout cutoff is 60 seconds. Any idea what it really means - is Tor really overloaded or anyone aware of attacks; anything special I could or should do?

It's likely that either you had a poor network connection, or your guard did. (Tor relays occasionally get overloaded, too.) It's normal for this to happen occasionally, particularly on shared network connections. Sometimes it can be malicious, sometimes it just happens.

Hi, the relay is managed by me and I checked the logs. There is no evidence of any attack against the relay itself, the only thing i could see was packet loss on connections via Frankfurt. So I assume the hoster seemed to have some network issues which are clearly resolved by now. Regards, Nurtic-Vibe On 09.03.2017 01:19, teor wrote:
