Hi there,<br>
<br>
runing a non-exit relay is usually deemed safe, a separate
abuse-handling is not necessary (because no exit-connections
happen, that might infringe laws, but only connections to other
tor nodes). <br>
<br>
You should however check the terms of service of your provider to
make sure, that running an anonymization service is covered and
allowed - some providers are calculating their prices and traffic
allowances with very small profit margins and might suspend your
account, if you produce too much traffic or use too much VPS
resources. You can find several lists online[1][2] for some
TL;DR-Shortcuts.<br>
<br>
If you still do need assistance, feel free to contact me on the
mailaddress <a moz-do-not-send="true"

might also want to check out Zwiebelfreunde e.V. or other local
tor groups like the Torrorists e.V.[3].<br>
<br>
Best Regards,<br>
Lars<br>

<div>Hi list,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I have set up a tor relay with no exit functionality yet.
Having read</div>
<div>through the documentation and general legal hints, I am
still unsure</div>
<div>of the legal situation in Germany. Are there some of you
guys who</div>
<div>had contact with hosting providers because of abuse
claims?</div>
<div>Is there anything you can share? Are pure relays safe to
use or</div>
<div>are the hosting providers still clueless?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks and best regards.</div>
