[tor-talk] More entry nodes prevent DDOS attacks on hidden services?

2014-03-09 Thread hikki
Since Tor uses only 3 entry nodes as default, it's often the entry nodes that are DDOSed, not the server. Will increasing the amount of entry nodes for the hidden service make it available to more users during DDOS attacks, if you've got a very powerful server? But more entry nodes equals less
