#Tor: Onion Services operators please enable tor PoW defense
As some of you might have noticed, we have a high load situation on the
network for a couple of weeks now affecting in particular onion services
(but not only them).
We recommend Onion Services operators to enable our Proof of Work (PoW) defense and finetune their torrc.
The person in this position will work directly with helping us maintain existing systems, and design new systems for gathering and analyzing Tor network data.
The bulk of our code is currently written in #java, smaller portions are written in R, #Python, PostgreSQL, and JavaScript. We are transitioning to a new pipeline mainly in #Rust and Python.
We have an anonymous survey about relay operators motivations and needs.
This survey will focus on you and your experiences as relay operators. Our aim to help build a better Tor network & improve community health & outreach.
