suffering non-stop DDoS attacks for the last three weeks, and they are using ToR exit nodes to conduct such attack
This doesn’t add up:
- Exit nodes are not involved in onion site visits. Exit nodes are only involved in connections from Tor to the clearnet.
- The tor network itself does not have a particularly massive amount of exit node bandwidth, and anybody trying to use a large fraction of that will attract the attention of the tor developers. I have a very hard time believing that the bits per second you can push through tor exits result in a bandwidth bill that a popular exchange (like yours!) has any difficulty affording.
Blink twice if you’ve been threatened by a three-letter agency.
Good luck,
I want to know about this too. Why didn’t you use HiddenServicePoWDefensesEnabled?
