Re: [tor-relays] Possible DDoS

Firstly, thanks for your advise.

Since I'm personally fed up with this provider, I'll move my Tor node
anyway. This last DDoS handling was just the last straw.

But before I discourage others from choosing this hosting provider, I
wanted to check the facts behind this DDoS attack, but within by own
log files, I can see nothing helpful.
I'm going to ask the provider for further information.

Putting a Tor hint into the reverse DNS entry sounds like a great
idea. I wouldn't have thought that this actually stops people from
attacking your server. Thanks!

Furthermore, I wondered if the attackers were attracted to my system
because of the Tor service, or were just randomly picking targets.
But from your previous descriptions, I rather deduce that it is more
like the latter, rather random attacks, right?

Anyway, I'll keep you informed about my investigations of the attack
if you like.

Regards,
Chris
