Simple question: Do Tor middle relays and bridges work on
cloud systems?<br>
</blockquote>
<div><br>

<div>I use AWS, I and it is fine, they also have a fat
internet connection :-). Amazon have EC2 and Lightsail.
EC2 is more for hosting many servers/VM's, Lightsail is
basically the same thing but a bit easier to use. AWS have
a years free trial, but I think its limited to 30GB data
transfer a month.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I have never received any abuse emails relating to tor,
and looking through Atlas/Relay Search there appears to be
others using AWS as well.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>One thing to watch out for Data Usage, make sure you
set accountingmax in torrc. They get many SSH login
attempts - On EC2 take the time to set up Security Groups
correctly and on Lightsail you can simply disable access
to port 22, re enabling it only when you want to connect.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I have tried the other big cloud providers. Microsoft
Azure plays better with Linux then you might expect but is
far from perfect. Google Cloud is just far too complicated
for running one or two VM's, but all three have free trial
periods. Make the most of these to find a service you
like, remembering to set accountingmax in torrc to avoid
getting a fat data bill at the end of the month.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>There are also other providers, of course they vary
from very tor friendly to not at all and from cheap
expensive.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Hope this helps. </div>
