[Request] VPS for Tor Relay
I'm looking for a VPS that can fulfill a Tor relay.
Ideally 384MB+ RAM and unmetered bandwidth, or a very large bandwidth cap for sub-$7/month.
I'm also open to suggestions of Tor relay hosts, and not just requests.
I already have relays with OVH and online.net so meh on that.
Comments
Digital Ocean, unmetered for now.
Yeah sure keep on recommending DO to everyone for Tor relays, maybe that'll teach them and make them speed up the work on b/w metering -- and ruin the good thing for everyone. You're not only a giant asshole yourself, you're encouraging others to join.
DO only 1TB free outgoing bandwidth.
He's meaning the fact that DO doesn't charge for bandwidth overages at the moment, though will in a few months. Its not viable for me though.
Waking up one day to a huge bandwidth overage bill would suck. Just saying.
Paying $10 a month for 1GB ram, I don't think they will mind a few TB over...
Anyway, for 10TB over it's only $20.
I am doing 26 TB/month for 1.99 EUR, but the OP already uses that provider.
Wtf? Mine pushes 1/3 of that.
Your what? I didn't say it was Kidechire.
@rm_ you did say 1.99 EUR/month though
Mine does close to half, 11.9 last time i checked. Kidechire. But _rm hints it is not that :P
@_rm care to share?
Prometeus/Ipwerweb haas no issue with tor relays, except on biz plans. But traffic is limited, although generous.
In, out or both? I listed both, i.e. 13+13.
There's not a lot of 1.99 EUR priced products across those two hosts.
well, one way, indeed, added up it is twice as much, but the useful data is only half, because the same passing bit is counted twice.
Kidechire breakdown:
This is the example of my vnstat monitoring from tunl.biz
Me too, 29 TB last month with that 1.99/m product which I think anyone can guess.
OVH VPS for anyone wondering.
Do they enforce the 10TB limit? Not sure how you guys would be able to push 20+ otherwise.
No, they don't.
1,99 box here as well, uptime exactly 30 days:
RX bytes:25818672367567 (25.8 TB) TX bytes:26280567874603 (26.2 TB)
Is that still with Tor, though? Don't see how you have enough CPU for that, if it is.
What provider are you using?
Check the "torpids" nodes on torstatus. I noticed they are all cheap VPS's with unmetered bandwidth.
Tor and I2P.
In my experience I2P barely uses any bandwidth, but a lot of CPU, so it would only add to the problem, not solve it. And the problem is, 99% CPU use at those numbers that I have (13+13). Share your secrets how do you get 26+26?
How do you even get 13TX/13RX? My TOR relay has been running since 12.09.14 and I got 8.21 TiB (RX) and 8.50 TiB (TX) in february.
@4n0nx Deepnet will kill your TOR process and throw you on FraudRecord FYI. i83 also kills any process with the letters tor in it.
Regarding i83:
They do? When I used them a few months back I had no problem. But then suddenly they suspended my vps and failed to unlock it/give me more information in a appropriate manner so I simply canceled.
o.O I must have overlooked that back then when I read the AUP. It clearly states no Tor nodes now. I edited my post, thx.
I'm guessing all of you are using the padlock patch for the VIA processor right? How'd you get it working with tor?
@black No I'm not using it with the patch.
