I run several onion sites on various different dedicated servers.
These hidden services are all using Tor 0.2.1.30 (which I believe is the
latest stable release at the time of writing).
They have been using this tor version for many months without issue.
Recently myself and others have had spotty results trying to access these
services.
I can take 10-20 attempts always getting the error "[Notice] Tried for 120
seconds to get a connection to [scrubbed]:80. Giving up. (waiting for
circuit)".
If I watch the vidalia tor network map when its trying to connect, its
building and closing circuits like crazy.
At the time I receive these errors, I am directly connected (no Tor) to
the hidden service server via SSH and I can see that it is indeed up and
running, and many people are accessing the site through Tor, but its not
working for me.
Usually restarting the Tor process on the client makes it instantly work
again, but other times it just wont work unless I restart Tor on the
hidden service server.
So this appears to be a problem that happens over time, with a long
running tor process.
These hidden services are all pretty well known and popular, so its
possible this is some kind of denial of service attack through the Tor
protocol, but I suspect it may be a bug in one of the recent Tor beta
versions that many relays are running, since its only been the last 2-3
weeks I noticed this problem.
I am not the only one to have this problem, many of my site visitors are
reporting the site being "down" during periods I know its up, and I can
see from access logs that people were accessing it, so it wasn't down for
everyone.
Sorry for the vagueness of this report, if there is something I can do to
get further details please tell me.
Thanks.
