Is there a place where the network manages and co-ordinates DDoS attack responses. i.e. a Dashboard that shows if there could be a DDoS underway?
I ask because my relays are showing signs of DDoS attack.
Your computer is too slow to handle this many circuit creation requests! Please consider using the MaxAdvertisedBandwidth config option or choosing a more restricted exit policy. [417 similar message(s) suppressed in │ last 5820 seconds]
At first I thought this was a CPU load issue, but I don’t think it is - my CPUs are about 50% utilised - and the throughput measured is about 9Mbytes per second. If I leave things alone for a bit things settle down. Also I have followed the guidance here: My relay or bridge is overloaded what does this mean? | Tor Project | Support to get the below stats.
