Do you need IPv4 or would v6/v4 NAT work?
I'm interested in that kind of deals, too.
i still dont get it with the obsession with getting vps for relays - do you have to use your own to hide hidden services behind?
Not to run hiddenservices, what - obviously - is a bad idea due to the shared / uncontrolled memory. However, I'd like to support the TOR network with some bandwidth.
"They" are "supporting" "free speech".
OVH VPS
SeFlow's Cloud One is in Italy and ridiculously cheap for unmetered + two-datacenter HA:

They don't mention TOR in their AUP so I'm guessing it's OK, though I'd personally ask first.
OP says relay not exit, so should be OK...
As far as I know OVH forbids TOR in general? I think it's something like open-proxies or anonymizers in their ToS
I do need one IPv4.
Just as with a knife, 99% of the people use it to Cook or to eat, some lunatics use it to kill.
There are a number of "countries" where access to the net is restricted and tor helps with that. Fuck all the pedo's and drug dealers, if you are a reporter or just some lad/gal in Iran/China/Birma (examples) or someone with important information in a western country you should be able to use the net without restrictions or be worried that the state/people with other religion/ideas do bad things to you.
OVH indeed does not allow it, I've called them about it, they Are slow with emails...
Somewhere I was reading an article that using TOR puts you under extended surveillance by the NSA.
The NSA doesn't care about TOR users. They are only interested in naked girls.

This always helps:

Any providers willing to make an offer? I've sent a message to domflow, not received a response yet.
You don't want to much nodes on the same network.
i'm pretty sure breathing puts you under extended surveillance by the NSA
Quick, respirators on!
Hi,
You don't need VPS for that dear friends. Grab one BeagleBone Black and set that in your home like me. There is no ISP that will block you in Europe and USA, and i will explain you how. You need to set some rules and traffic that you want to allow.
I run one exit/relay from my home and this week i got thanks mail from Tor community. All what you need to know is how to set exit rules and block some abuse on your network.
If anybody want same configuration for their home, i can make that for you but i need to check how much that can coast, because i didn't think about that before, it was just my home project.
I will show my findings next month on BalCCon conference and I hope that more people will join the cause.
@zerof what is your exit policy?
I do have a pi running on my home fiber.
@Dylan there are nice, but got enough relays on their network already.
@ZEROF @Raymii running any kind of exit from your home is a bad idea. If you got fiber, a relay is ok. Anyway, for high bandwidth+CPU usage, a dedicated server or at least a powerful VPS are required.
@Raymii Suggestion (but do your own research for more providers): https://infiumhost.com/en/vds-vps.html
@Raymii Pi will do the thing. I will send you mail with my config file. Testing doing just fine with this settings, but i need more time to see if some ports need to be removed from my rules, but for now i will stay with them.
@Nyr it's not about how much traffic you give it's how many people are ready to join and share. And if you support only TOR for IRC communication you helped already, and for that point you don't need server or vps, BeagleBone or Pi as server will do the job. I have spend a lot of time learning about TOR and how system works and i can say you that only we, normal, basic users with love for our privacy and not hacking or destroying people lives, we can do something big.
My BBB node have this flags:
@ZEROF I don't know how your exit policy is going to protect you from getting raided when some pedo ends up using your exit.
And I say this as a long time Tor relay and exit administrator, even before Tor was mainstream and well known. Tor does get abused and you need to pay bear with it.
@Nyr I like you man, just ..
I know that you like to have last word but this is not case. Set one exit and you will understand. From all of your online posting you sound like somebody who have try every point of IT in his life and I'm sure that you know that is not possible.
You did some nice job in the paste, you even helped me few times, but don't act as 'i know all' dude, all over the place called Internet. Stay cool.
And to finish this you-me talk on this topic, when you set exit rules, people can't use your node for surfing Internet pages, just for communication you have allowed. As one TOR administrator (new internet function i guess) you should know this.
For best of this place, let's stay on topic, send me PM and I will be happy to answer you.
Have a nice day.
@Raymii here you can find list with "few" providers: https://www.torservers.net/partners.html
Exit at home gets you raided. 100%. Just a matter of time.
What you listed is NOT a list of providers either, it's a list of Torservers.net partners - Torservers itself rents from Voxility and Nforce.
@ZEROF I don't have anything personal against you nor anyone on this forum, just wanted to point out bad advice which could mean serious problems for the OP.
