are you sure that's wise? knowing all this nsa and hacking stuff. and what happened with William From Edis
200GB is a bit less traffic, isn't it?
What happened with William? @TarZZ92
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2012/12/10/tor_admin/
@TarZZ92 he specifically said "no exit node", do you even read?
@joodle 200GB is on the low side for Tor, the only explanation I imagine why you would specify such a low b/w amount, is that maybe you're looking to spend like $1/month or less on this?
If your budget is a bit higher, I am going to recommend DigitalOcean, they have no problem with Tor relays (except on "grandfathered" old accounts), and not even with let's just say "higher than average" CPU load that Tor generates these days because of the botnet invasion. $5/month for 1TB bandwidth.
Not going to get in an argument. but i would strongly suggest against using tor. especially considering now we know what isp's/nsa etc can do.
I strongly believe it is because of the NSA spying scandal, that we must learn about ways to protect our privacy and anonymity, to be able to do so whenever we need to; e.g. see http://prism-break.org/ ; and to support decentralized encrypted networks like Tor (and Freenet, I2P, etc). And no, it has not been proven by anyone that Tor itself is flawed/broken; all we had so far is just overly broad and vague FUD against it; maybe circulated because Tor does indeed work, and that's exactly why "they" want you to give up on it and don't use it.
Just read that, it's ridiculous that authorities can do this to someone in the UK. Just because some people abuse the system doesn't mean it should be outlawed all together. It's just lazy police not willing to do the hard work and instead just shutting down everything that might be used to commit a crime, even though 95% of the traffic will be perfectly legal and even good considering the dangerous behavior of the UK and US Governments.
Are you referring to @William? If so, he's from Austria
We allow them
I could recommend RamNode/Shardhost/Fliphost and Iperweb/Prometeus for Tor Relays.
I'm looking to spend no more than around $3 per VPS
I will check them out
I know RamNode does allow it, I think Prometeus is pretty good because of the bandwith. Currently running my Relay on a OVH dedicated but it just doesn't want to go above 2MB/s. Also ran it on a DO vps with some unused credits.
A bunch of police guys raiding my flat and my workplace, confiscating things, not returning them for a year (and break some of them), keep encrypted hardware indefinitely, monitor my internet + phone + me + friends outside, charge me 20k+EUR for the 'analysis' and now trial me for images from caches/'unused' sectors that display clearly 18+ persons that 'could look younger than 18'....
Seriously, don't run exit if your country is full of bs.
All countries are full of it.
Leaving this aside, any provider which does not oversell traffic so bad that a few ppl using it would tip the scale should be OK with relays. We allow them on non-biz plans because we need to be sure biz plans can burst very close to 1 gbps when needed, not for other reasons. Besides, who would pay premium for running Tor relays but just to make sure.
Do as I do, where Tor is forbidden and the deal is really good, run freenet. Will not be easy on the disk and memory, but since they do not feel like offering the traffic they advertise, at least use the other stuff.
Hope it all goes right dude.
