Having the proof of work defense has been a game changer for the network. I’ve noticed a hell of a lot less unresponsive onion services. However, this is old news as it was released last August. Most everybody should have a version capable of doing the proof of work by now.
no offense, but that’s old news as of august of last year. But yea this has been a big game changer for hidden services that were under constant DDoS, such as the Dread forum.
I wish more companies understood that Onion Services have excellent protection from DoS attacks.
You don’t even have to give away your keys to CloudFlare. Just get trigger happy with IP blocking and tell users to use the Onion address to bypass any blocks.
Honestly that’s not a terrible idea (assuming the target audience knows about Tor)
This is a year old. But please do notify me when its available in the default Debian repos.
Could be good, but be aware that it doesn’t bother the real users. Continue working! 😃
