[tor-relays] Turning down my relay from DigitalOcean

[gerard at bulger.co.uk]

So far, for a year now https://www.1and1.com/ (co.uk) have ignored my exit mycontribution.  They must know it is there as have logged in, let alone seen the traffic.

2.90 TB a month.  

 

Their help desk told me “it’s your server, you can do what you like” so I took them at their word.

 

My exit limits the risky ports, and has a limited range port 80 networks open.   So far, touching wood, despite many open ports, I have not one abuse letter or any sort.

I am not sure why restricting port 80 seems to have a magical effect on abuse reports while 443 is wide open. Perhaps 1&1 have enough sense to bin reports.

The 1&1 T&Cs do not seem to exclude Tor specifically nor relays in proxies.  Only one line in T&Cs banning “defeating identification procedures”, but that would seem to include a lot that protects  e commerce  or by using any encryption or any VPN, so I think meaningless, unless they are referring to my identification.

Hi,

I am running a Tor exit node on a OVH VPS (VPS 2014, the cheapest instance with 1CPU, 1G RAM to be exact) with approx. ~20MByte/s for at least 2 years now without any problems, often surpassing it's traffic limit w/o getting throttled whatsoever.

 

Regards,

Marcel

Hi guys, OVH does not allow Tor nodes on VPSes indeed, but you can easily work around this by hiring à physical machine and running VMs on it.

That is ok for OVH (this is how I run my relays since à few years).

 

Best

Patrick

Hello Vadim,

 

How long have you been running a relay with OVH? I know they've stated that they do not allow Tor relays on their network.

 

Best,

Jason

Hello everybody,

I am using OVH.ie for my Tor relay. They don't limit traffic.

Good luck!
