[anti-censorship-team] DDoS on Greenhost, may affect Snowflake

[David Fifield]

Greenhost sent an email saying that since last 2020-12-17, there has
been a DDoS attack against their infrastructure. This may affect
Snowflake, because the broker and bridge are hosted by Greenhost in
Amsterdam.

> Please bear with us as Greenhost and the eclips.is platform are

> Our upstream provider in Miami has unfortunately completely dropped

> The situation in Amsterdam is more under our control, and both
