Hi,
OVH also has some traffic limits, that get cut down to 10 Mbps (depending on the plan). So you could probably have a fast relay until the limit is reached and then keep doing 10 Mbps.
If the goal is to have better geographic diversity, I think a slower (or a bursting) relay might still be a good choice. Having relays do hundrets of Mbps is nice - but not the only way to have a useful relay.
Best regards, Matthias

DigitalOcean and Vultr have traffic limits. 1 TB sounds great, but is nothing over a month. Not sure about OVH.
I tried to run relays in Japan and Singapore some years ago. It was bad, you are more than 10000 km away from the rest of the crowd so expect delay and jitter :(

Hello Olaf,
OVH, DigitalOcean and Vultr have servers in Singapore. While this would probably add to geographic diversity, I am unsure if it's a good idea to run more relays in those AS.
On the other hand, I run several OVH-Relays at different geographi locations.
Best regards, Matthias

Roman, ignore this people.
Do you have an intention for a relay in APAC? I looking for a provider in Asia with unlimited bandwith / traffic. I've found nothing, Or other recommendations? Maximum of 15$ is desired. Or South America. or Africa. Outside of Tor-overloaded areas. Want to reach my goal of 10 relays...

it would be nice to find financial help to make the tor network grow faster.
You need to put things in perspective, and then consider how your request looks to an outside observer. What you have is a relay:
at OVH, which is oversaturated with relays by any measure;
only 10 Mbit (seems hard-capped), even though you get unmetered 100 Mbit on your server;
IPv4-only, while OVH does provide IPv6;
To summarize, this is the worst location to start a new relay (some would say adding more relays at OVH does more harm than good), the bandwidth is capped ridiculously low, and you didn't even put much thought into setting it up.
It seems that you think you found a way to set up a tiny relay on the side, exploit gullible people to pay you for it, and enjoy not only a paid-off server (after all the fee is as low as 4 EUR per month[1]) which you can use for your own purposes (with only 10% of the bandwidth given to Tor), but also some free money on top.
Considering that many of us pay for multiple relays out of our own pocket -- actual fast ones with hundreds megabits at non-trivial locations -- and don't run the first thing to the mailing list begging for money, your behavior is nothing but disgusting.
