For a circuit to clearnet it's 3. Guard --> Middle --> Exit. For a onion service it's 6 and the connection is a bit more complicated [0]. The speed varies from very fast to unbearable depending on your circuit and how bad the ddos is at that moment. [1] You can try to create a new and hopefully faster circuit by clicking on the onion symbol on the left in the address bar. [0] https://github.com/mikeperry-tor/vanguards/blob/master/READM...

Very cool. I clicked a bunch of links from there and got to here: https://github.com/mikeperry-tor/vanguards/blob/master/READM... Good overview of threats.

Also see https://github.com/mikeperry-tor/vanguards > Even after deployment of the new v3 onion service protocol, the attacks facing onion services are wide-ranging, and still require more extensive modifications to fix in Tor-core itself. > Because of this, we have decided to rapid-prototype these defenses in a controller addon in order to make them available ahead of their official Tor-core release, for onion services that require high security as soon as possible.
