Hi all, I had some problems with my TOR server (plotin) recently. My provider hard-limited my bandwidth from 100Mbit to 10MBit and the ongoing massive data from TOR users essentially DoS'ed my server afterwards. As the server is mainly used for TOR I didn't notice anything strange until the node did no longer appear in the torstatus pages. What happened was that the server was not able to obtain new directory information due to timeouts and thus could not create new circuits.
As I'm quite certain that such a thing will happen again (my provider limits the bandwidth after some amount of data has been transfered) I'm looking for some kind of monitoring for the TOR server. Is there something out there (mon daemon script for example) or do I have to build something from scratch? Cheers Steffen PS. As a result of this I had to limit the bandwidth the TOR server may use significantly, sorry guys :-(
