[tor-relays] relay got suspended

[David Poulsen]

Dear Adam & Paul,
There have been a quite unusual traffic here in Denmark too, I am situated on the island of Als running on STOFA A/S and TDC Yousee A/S networks, which are being redirecting as if the relays were under DDoS attack, by taking over the link and be a man in the middle?
Relays, bridges and exits have been not trustable and many certificates are wrong, so do a double, trible check even if you are connected to tor networks!
Regards
David

We are keeping an eye on the situation, however in the meantime you will want to get your site behind a DDoS filter such as CloudFlare.
