I've had enough with OVH as well. For a long time they played a good hoster, but somehow it's different now. I am bombarded by "abuse" and "tickets", which unanswered first have no consequences, until suddenly the VPS is in rescue mode. But there is no ticket in the customer panel. If you ask, the network team is not the Abuse team, so you don't get to the right address. They forward it internally.

The same happens with the hoster Yourserver.se. For a very long time it was quiet there too. I had to switch all exit relays to normal relays there too.

In total 18 exit relays are lost now and I will switch them off as normal relays this year, because my focus is on exit relays, if you have to pay so much. Both hosters were very fast and always good in the network.

Hi,

I was running a pair of Tor exit relays on OVH, and when I sent an response, I got this as a reply:

=== As provided in our Service Specific Terms, Anonymization services, such as TOR, are not permitted on OVHcloud's VPS or Public Cloud services. We request that you immediately cease utilizing your current subscriptions as a TOR exit node. Failure to comply with this request may result in the suspension and/or termination of your servers and/or account in accordance with our Terms of Service.

It seems OVH does not allow Tor exit relays on "cloud" or "VPS" subscriptions anymore. In the past when I used OVH for exits I had no issues, so they must have changed their TOS.

I am assuming OVH dedicated servers are fine.

I guess I'm moving the two exit relays to Terrahost. Terrahost is more expensive but I already have exits there and they are excellent.

I never had a great experience with OVH.
