Hi, I've been contacted by my VPS supplier. It seems that my exit nodes are generating a huge number of established connections (10K - 35K), most of which are unreplied. This is causing some grief. Is there a way, inside or outside of tor, for limiting the number of connections per port? Maybe a kernel or networking parameter? I'm afraid I'm not a networking expert.
TIA:
K.
That's normal behavior for Tor and should not affect normal VPSes. However, if your VPS is NATed, or behind a badly configured firewall, this could indeed cause some trouble on network devices.
There isn't much you can do about that, you simply need a lot of connections for exits to work.
