Re: [tor-relays] Traffic in port 9050 in a relay (denial of service attack?)

[Thomas Hand <th6045@xxxxxxxxx>]

What is the fingerprint of your exit node, maybe someone here can take a look?

Also, use iptables! If it is a dedicated VPS then drop anything you dont recognize, leaving only Tor ports (9001,9030 default) and maybe a service port like 22 for SSH for something. Port 9050 should not be visible from outside...

Sorry for the confusión, the exact line in my torrc is "Socksport 0", so, SOCKS port is closed. Moreover, I haven't got any exit rule towards port 9050

Even if I block this traffic using iptables, I am very curious about  why the server is receiving that huge amount

Maybe, because my relay's exit policy? (exit policy--> doc/ReducedExitPolicy – Tor Bug Tracker & Wiki : https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/ReducedExitPolicy)

...and before I forget, yes deploy IPtables anyway. :)
