[tor-relays] DDOS?

[mick]

Hi guys

The provider for one of my VPSs, running my tor node tor.baldric.net
has shut it down (unilaterally and without telling me) a couple of
times this month, most recently today. Their response to my query as to
why is that they say they are seeing a large DDOS attack on the VPS
server hosting my node, apparently aimed at my address. 

I shut tor down while I investigated and when running nethogs I
noticed a shed load of attempted connections to my tor port (443) from
non-tor addresses. A snapshot is at http://rlogin.net/tor/incoming.png 

Anyone else seeing anything similar? I can't believe I'm the only node
being poked.

Cheers

Mick
