This will almost certainly be another multi-national law enforcement operation, similar to Operation Lobos, Habitance, or most recently, Liberty Lane. https://lists.torproject.org/mailman3/hyperkitty/list/tor-relays@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/thread/DQCYCWV27XXI7MGDWYGPWPTTQKCFRFRT/#53MVXVJ3YHU6JO63LIISCHABE6KAZDNS These operations against long running HiddenServices often take years and are costly. The most important thing is that ordinary Tor users are not deanonymized. The relay is forced to restart e.g. by the out-of-memory (OOM) killer and loses its HSDir status. https://www.petsymposium.org/foci/2024/foci-2024-0014.pdf https://www.computer.org/csdl/proceedings-article/sp/2026/606500b316/2bojw45PzIk There’s nothing the Tor devs can do about that, either. Keep your relays running as stably as possible. Don't get upset about status flags. Enjoy life & German (CanG) ;-) My solution: - I was at the C-IX with niftybunny and fully populated all 24 RAM slots on both servers. - I’ve been testing BBR congestion control and fq for a few days now. This has significantly reduced the CPU load. :-) -- ╰_╯ Ciao Marco! Debian GNU/Linux It's free software and it gives you freedom!
