Tor is an overlay network of Internet. When the internet is down, 
everything is down.
But that's unlikely. The Internet (ARPANET) was developed during the 
Cold War to withstand nuclear war.

Solution: Much more Freifunk nodes ;-)


The Tor network consists of only a few thousand servers. Total relay 
bandwith ~600 Gbits/s.
It's easy for large botnets and government 3 letter agencies to attack 
it when they want to.
(Feb. 2020: DDoS attack against AWS lasted for three days and peaked at 
an astounding 2.3 terabytes per second!)
Big players like Google, AWS, Github or OVH even run into problems.

Solution: The Monero way. Offer your service via v3 onion and I2P. And 
then just wait until the DNMs have ruined each other.
