We are thinking of running a Tor Exit Node. Does anybody have a list of questions to ask before purchasing a VPS or colocation? I came up with some basic questions:
- Do you allow a Tor exit node? [with explanation]
- What are the policies for handling abuse complaints?
- How much uplink bandwidth do you provide?
Any other questions one should ask?
In addition to the 'price' question that nifty suggested, you might also ask about whether they can SWIP the address so you are listed in the whois entry. That way many of the abuse complaints will go directly to you and not to the ISP.
