[tor-relays] DoS attack on Tor exit relay

[potlatch]

Hello Tor users,
Help me with a problem please.  I have a small exit/backup & directory VPS in Finland [1].  This last week the server (and Tor) have been overwhelmed with non-Tor IP addresses.  This may be a small version of a DoS attack.  I took the server down for a few days but when I restarted it the attack was there before Tor users.  Eventually, the load caused kernal crash.
I noticed this last week, that my Consensus Weight had dropped from 5500 to 68.
Does anyone have an efficient way to defeat this ongoing attack?
