Hello friends,
As I recall, there are several exits running on DigitalOcean's infrastructure. This is presented FYI:
Background: I've run an exit on DigitalOcean for about a year without issues (lost track of uptime duing heartbleed key regen). It wasn't hidden (the droplet name was 'tor-exit') and it had valid reverse DNS and the standard informational page was hosted there. At the time of droplet creation, tor exits were not prohibited by their ToS. I've mentioned to DigitalOcean staff during support tickets that it was a Tor exit.
Update: HOLY CRAP!
Hello
Thanks for your well worded response.
You have argued your case well and we have decided to allow your tor exit node.
However please understand this is a unique case with a custom solution, by no means does this reflect our overall policy on TOR.
All cases are reviewed individually.
We will let you know if we see any further issues.
Thanks for your understanding, we have resumed your tor node.
Let us know if you have any other questions or feedback
Regards Support
