Hi everyone, I am so fucking psyched right now because this is a huge milestone in regards to fighting these attacks.
The main onion is ONLINE, while under full attack load. There will still be timeouts here and there and initial connections may be sporadic, be persistent and you should be able to access fairly quickly through the use of a single new identity to clear your descriptors and then possibly switching circuits a couple of times if you cannot connect, you can do this quickly by pressing Ctrl + Shift + L.
Credit goes completely to our resident genius Paris who theorized this method of bypassing the bottleneck, using a modified version of a method that somewhat worked previously but the attacker was able to easily overcome it. If you haven’t experienced fighting these attacks, you will have no idea how INCREDIBLE this is, but seriously, it is completely unprecedented.
This method scales against the intro point bottleneck itself and it is possible that we could remain stable. The downside is that this is fucking expensive on our end.
WITH ALL THAT BEING SAID. It COULD be just as easy for the attacker to bypass this, so while I am hopeful here, we are going to continue to prepare mirror rotation within Daunt and continue to share private mirrors to anyone who is struggling to access.
Use this as an opportunity to get your auth keys so that you can make use of them for accessing other affected services through Daunt, as well as accessing Dread going forward if we do fall back to rotation primarily.
This is a massive FUCK YOU to this sad extortionist.—–BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE—–
