Greetings,
I believe there is a larger sized guard relay that has been having MTU issues
for about a week. All connections with packets above a certain size are
dropped. This results in partially loaded or broken webpages, broken file
downloads, etc. Do Tor directory authorities test MTU (impli

No idea if it was covered at a tor meeting at some point.
For bridge relay operators, such as those with very low bandwidth, it may be

Greetings Marco,
Something I always found confusing is what the difference is between the
Vanguards Github project, and the version of Vanguards that Tor has

applies to Tor.
Could this be a form of an "Eclipse" attack?

Out of curiosity, can any other options be passed with ServerTransportOptions
besides iat-mode?
I could only find this article saying there is a 'cert=' option, which
initially appear useful for Tor.
