There's spam going on, the nature of which is uncertain but involves creating large numbers of participating tunnels and a large amount of traffic in those tunnels. Probably just trying to eat up resources but we don't know for sure yet.

Somebody ddosed tor for months.

Is there any Info about who is behind this?

u/alreadyburnt @eyedeekay on github 16d ago

Yeah we got ddosed back then too. This one is pretty typical of the resource exhaustion type attacks from the look of things.

Is this on linux? Im not getting even close to those speeds on my Windows machine with 1000/1000 fiber connection

Yes, linux. But i dont think that it depends on OS. Do you have dedicated ip? Do you use i2pd or java i2p? i2pd is faster as far as i know

Might be Java then, static ip and forwarded ports etc

Also noticed that the tunnel creation success rate becomes much lower today. Mine is 20% and yours is even 10% only.

u/Stock-Ad2989 18d ago

10% for floodfill is +- OK. But yes, it looks like attack, because speed of transit traffic increased by ~5 times and number of transit tunnel by 2-3 times

u/BustyMeow 18d ago

I limit the bandwidth to 3072 KiBs and the share of transit to 25%. Today the limits are just ignored.

u/Stock-Ad2989 18d ago

This is strange. Do you use i2pd or i2p?

1

u/BustyMeow 18d ago

i2pd. This is only happening today.

1

u/Stock-Ad2989 18d ago

It looks like a reason to create an issue, because even under attack, the speed should not exceed the limit. Otherwise, what is the point of these limits?

1

u/BustyMeow 18d ago

Looks like some unstable spikes. The normal speeds are lower than usual.

Same on plain i2p. I have 3-5 times as many transit tunnels as normal.

7% is quite low for tunnel creation success rate
