Relay Post-install and good practices Section No. 6
As the title says, the Steinex rules that come officially recommended for Anti-DDoS, are outdated and i think they should be removed as a recommendation.
To be fair, and first things first, ofc we -me personally at least- are grateful to the person that contributed out of his own time to make these set of rules for all of us.
And, again, to be fair, it is stated in the github page, that the ip’s of the ready-made-copy-paste-this given ruleset, are derived from Enkidu’s commands
curl -s 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Enkidu-6/tor-relay-lists/main/authorities-v4.txt' | sed -e '1,3d'
curl -s 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Enkidu-6/tor-relay-lists/main/snowflake.txt' | sed -e '1,3d'
curl -s 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Enkidu-6/tor-relay-lists/main/authorities-v6.txt' | sed -e '1,3d'
curl -s 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Enkidu-6/tor-relay-lists/main/snowflake-v6.txt' | sed -e '1,3d'
However, since the ip’s have changed, the ready-made rules no longer apply : some ip’s no longer exist and some are missing.
Worse yet, as things stand , the instructions are misleading, since there isn’t lets say a big bolded “WARNING : ALWAYS check first the validity of the ip’s from Enkidu’s commands, and adjust accordingly” or something of the like .
So, imho , if possible, our mods/admins should contact Steinex to update his Tor Anti-DDoS page, and until such an update is made, his\hers ruleset should be taken down from the official recommendation.
