<div dir="ltr">Hi All,
<div><br></div>
<div>I have a <i>free</i> membership for a year on Amazon's AWS
(<i>capped</i> at 15GB/month of traffic each way).</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>I've been running an exit node with a reduced exit policy on
an ec2 instance for months and have received my first abuse notice.
I'm sure a few on this mailing list may have received the same or
similar abuse notification from Amazon. Besides shutting down the
exit, what measures did you take to deal with this? What would be
the consequences of ignoring their email and continuing to run
it?</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Note: I'm a student and am running on a really tight budget at
the moment (reason for not hosting it on a paid vps)<br clear="all">
