# Tor Watchdog Bot

Tor Watchdog Bot is a Telegram bot designed to monitor the status of Tor relays and notify users when relays go offline.

> Currently, the bot is reported as reachable but not usable due to security reasons towards users. The currently active backend refers to the demo.py file and not the main.py file. Feel free to download, modify, test and use the published code, as it has been released under the GPLv3 license.

## Features

- **Relay Status Monitoring**: The bot regularly checks the status of Tor relays to ensure they are online.
- **Alert Notifications**: Users receive instant notifications when one of their Tor relays goes offline.
- **Simple Interface**: Easy-to-use commands make it simple for users to add, remove, and list Tor relays.
