 DENIAL OF SERVICE MITIGATION OPTIONS
 ------------------------------------
 
+Tor has three built-in mitigation options that can be individually
+enabled/disabled and fine-tuned, but by default Tor directory authorities will
+define reasonable values for relays and no explicit configuration is required
+to make use of these protections.  The mitigations are:
+
+  1. If a single client address makes too many concurrent connections (this
+     is configurable via DoSConnectionMaxConcurrentCount), hang up on
+     further connections.
+ +
+  2. If a single client IP address (v4 or v6) makes circuits too quickly
+     (default values are more than 3 per second, with an allowed burst of 90,
+     see DoSCircuitCreationRate and DoSCircuitCreationBurst) while also having
+     too many connections open (default is 3, see
+     DoSCircuitCreationMinConnections), tor will refuse any new circuit
+     (CREATE cells) for the next while (random value between 1 and 2 hours).
+ +
+  3. If a client asks to establish a rendezvous point to you directly (ex:
+     Tor2Web client), ignore the request.
+
+These defenses can be manually controlled by torrc options, but relays will
+also take guidance from consensus parameters, so there's no need to configure
+anything manually. In doubt, do not change those values.
+
+The values set by the consensus, if any, can be found here:
+https://consensus-health.torproject.org/#consensusparams
+
+If any of the DoS mitigations are enabled, an heartbeat message will appear in
+your log at NOTICE level which looks like:
+
+  DoS mitigation since startup: 429042 circuits rejected, 17 marked addresses.
+  2238 connections closed. 8052 single hop clients refused.
