Hello,
Pascal has updated net/tor to the latest version (0.4.7.11) in -current.
Thanks for that ! But IMHO users of this port on -stable, and the Tor
network itself, would also benefit from this update because it mitigates
the DDoS attacks Tor has been experiencing since several months.
Excerpt from tor's changelog :
Changes in version 0.4.7.11 - 2022-11-10
This version contains several major fixes aimed at helping defend
against network denial of service. It is also extending drastically the
MetricsPort for relays to help us gather more internal data to
investigate performance and attacks.
We strongly recommend to upgrade to this version especially for Exit
relays in order to help the network defend against this ongoing DDoS.
I could build and run tor-0.4.11 without problem on -stable on amd64,
using the same Makefile as in -current.
Best regards,
Ganymede
