I wouldn't suggest doing anything of the sort with any German provider.
No.
According to the graph here -- https://metrics.torproject.org/bubbles.html#as -- (Hetzner is one of the largest bubbles)...
There's already plenty of relays on Hetzner's network. So while it probably is doable, you won't be contributing much to the TOR project since that location is already heavily saturated.
Edit: And as @WSS said, doing anything that's an abuse-magnet with a German provider is a big no-no.
Thanks for The responce :-)
MansonR, Can you suggest a place/provide where i Can host a relay that Will contribute to The Tor network?
any non major provider that isn't cheap
Thanks hzr, but i was also thinking of a place that was not too saturated with Tor relays..
Which is
yes - that's what I'm saying. every single cheap provider (leaseweb, ovh, hetz..) is completely oversaturated to the point of pointlessness.
I dont mind paying premium. I just want to support a free internet, where all Can access What they want.
Non-exit relays aren't, though.
The unfortunate part is that you still end up on every ip blacklist and anonymizer blacklist even as a non-exit. Because they don't care and will list you anyway.
@hzr
How could they know that? A Tor relay, just relay data to another Tor relay, no Way “they” Will know What data transfere. U sure you dont mean a Tor exit?
Not "every", but you do on some.
People are dumb and don't know how Tor works -- and that includes people running some of the blacklists. A few of them add you not out of any actual abuse, but simply because your IP is listed as a "Tor relay", no matter exit or not.
Still doesn't exactly qualify as an "abuse magnet" in the usual sense of the term.
