Subject: [tor-talk] check.torproject.org outage 21 Dec 2011

As of late last night 20 Dec (GMT-5) our website hosting provider is experiencing a sustained attack. The attack is not directed at Tor, but someone else on the same network. The effect is that parts of our website infrastructure are intermittently unreachable. This includes the following domains in torproject.org: www, trac, gitweb, doxygen, cloud, svn, and check.

The most visible outage is check.torproject.org. Every Tor Browser Bundle user will attempt to reach this url on start up. You are currently seeing a browser-generated timeout message as the site is unreachable.

We're working to setup a new instance of check.torproject.org on a different machine today.
