[tor-onions] .onion service unavailable at times

[Dylan Holand]

I have a dedicated server with a few onoin-services on it. One of the URL's have some traffic to it, and this URL is not reachable a few times every day. Sometimes 5 minutes, sometimes 15 minutes.. While it's not available, the other onions is working fine, and they all have the same settings.

I'm running tor 0.3.5.8-1.el7

Here's a portion of journalctl output which might give a hint of what this could be. These kind of errors show up a lot, and only for the one .onion that has some traffic to it:

Tor[19172]: Giving up launching first hop of circuit to rendezvous point [scrubbed] for service xxx.

The server load and the tor process are not under heavy load when this is happening, so it's not a ddos attack or similar..

Any help whatsoever would be highly appreciated as I've been trying to find a solution for this for days!
