Hi [tor-talk], There was a big spike in NL-initiated Tor connections between 30 July and 7 October --- from 50k daily connections to 150k a day:
https://metrics.torproject.org/userstats-relay-country.html?start=2017-05-01&end=2017-10-24&country=nl Unrelated or not, a nearly equally big spike is currently observed in DE-initiated connections --- from 200k to 500k so far: https://metrics.torproject.org/userstats-relay-country.html?start=2017-05-01&end=2017-10-24&country=de Can anyone shed light on this? Obviously lots of hypotheses can be dreamt up, ranging from (poorly implemented) hidden service indexing/scanning to Sybil attacks or a legitimate change in the entry guard selection; but speculation is rarely a friend.
