Our @ripencc Atlas Probe has been online for the past 5 years :)
There will be three different Tor meetups tomorrow at #37c3
Did Tor exit operators see more TCP connections? Did they run out of free TCP source ports?
Did Tor exit operators identify the CPU load root cause and did they take steps against it?
3 Tor exit operators are disappointed by the torproject's support/communication on this matter.
4 Tor exit operators confirmed seeing a significant impact on their bandwidth usage:

9 Tor exit operators participated in the poll to learn how widespread the CPU overload at exit relays is.
Here are the results (excluding free text answers).

5 out of 9 confirmed seeing a significant increase in CPU load.

Our Tor nodes pushed 100 Pebibytes since we started operation back in 2018! Come celebrate with us at #MCH2022
We updated and simplified the privacy policy for our encrypted DNS resolver service (DNS-over-HTTPS and DNS-over-TLS).

Data Minimization We strive to minimize data collection and logging at the technical level to avoid having much sensitive data in the first place. The fewer sensitive data we have the fewer effort it

Today we doubled the compute capacity that is available to our Tor exit server by installing a second CPU.

Thanks for this hardware donation!
