There was a similar happening a year ago: https://forum.torproject.org/t/sudden-sharp-increase-in-direct-tor-users-in-germany-1-5m
This one appears to be a much quicker acceleration in connection count, though. I know that there are the usual attacks on dark web markets happening right now, but I fail to see why this would specifically cause a sudden spike like this in Germany right now. Unless this is a nation-state actor unleashing a new deanonymization technique, which, as we all learned, wouldn’t be Germany’s first time.
Any additional data you can share like last time?
