High traffic event on check-01
Since yesterday, there has been a spike in number of requests hitting check-01
:
My understanding from parsing logs and server-status
is that something at CloudFlare is producing hundreds or thousands of requests per second, all directed at https://check.torproject.org/exit-addresses
. The mod_qos
module is doing its job and denying a large number of these requests, but the sheer number of requests and IPs are simply filling up the Apache scoreboard, leaving little room for responding to other clients.
