Addendum: two days later, things are back to normal. Consensus still about 300, but i guess thats normal to adjust slower. Up/download now at the allowed 1,2M limit. Since i don't believe that i have some kind of special setup/situation here, i assume it takes some time to rebuild connections

Hi everyone, can confirm. compare.sh shows "fluctuation" of relay IPs as announced. The tor-ddos ipset is a bit smaller here (ca. 70 atm). Observation, though: since activation, data throughput went from 600-800k down to about 100 or even lower. Hardware/Connection should be able to handle a

An effect can definitely be seen. I now have an average of 30 relays and over 600 IPs in the block list. Am 07.10.22 um 09:18 schrieb Chris: Compare.sh will tell you how many of the IPs in the block list are relays. You've collected a lot more IPs in your block list. Open a terminal and typ

Compare.sh will tell you how many of the IPs in the block list are relays. You've collected a lot more IPs in your block list. Open a terminal and type: ipset -L tor-ddos and you'll see how many IPs are sitting in your block list.

Hoi, Chris, oh wow, that seems to help a lot. Uptime 1/2 hour now, load 50-60% and six IPs collected according to compare.sh. No signs of overload yet. Thanks a lot, and i'll report, how things evolved. ATM, it looks like you can add the "n00b proof"-stamp to your concept :) Greets and than

Hi Richie I was a bit lost myself having to deal with the scripts and additional packages to install. So I put something together for myself based on the same rules and added a few twists but in a simple text n00b proof format. It's as simple a

Hi, toralf, since i'm quite a n00b regarding iptables and shellscripts: are there somewhere n00b-proof setup instructions for the ddos protection scripts? here: relay (schlafschaf) with the usual connection floods, running on Kubuntu (latest LTS) What i found out: ipset is not installed per d

Hello, After changing my server, the connections settled between 6000-8000 incoming connections in the first 2 weeks of the warm-up period. (Guard/non exit) Since it seems that many relays have been overloaded in the last few weeks, I think a big DDOS is running again. Yesterday I tried to r
