First of all, sorry for the late re-post of this e-mail to the list.
An individual also active on the tor-relays list messaged regarding a new provider, I recommended one which is not crowded with Tor nodes, but our fellow decided to lie about the provider. Please read their quote.
I can still recommend Wedos.cz for Guards/Middle relays, as well as bridges, and if you have very restrictive exit policy, maybe also for exits - however, confirm with staff first, and let them know which ports you want to allow.
Also, always reply to all non-automated abuse reports, and forward them to the address for processed abuse reports given to you by staff.
This was my original reply:
Because their AI chat bot has infinite intelligence right?
I know 2 people working there personally, Michal Jakubec and Roman Mondek, and they both reassured me yesterday that Guard/Middle and Bridge are NOT a problem, as long as they stay Guard/Middle or Bridge nodes.
Using Tor FROM their network is also no problem.. using Tor to access THEIR is no problem.
But, I did not trust their word..
So I tried it myself:
No problem accessing the website using around 10 different exit nodes..
Then, I tried to order:
Again, no problem!
Received bitcoin payment information using a Tor mail service within 10 minutes:
This is where I stopped, I did not pay the invoice and e-mailed Wedos stafff to please remove the order.
But, Wedos supports Tor, and is a great choice especially for Guards/Middle nodes as well as bridges.
Please don't lie about providers.. alternatively, if they still don't support Tor for you, please show the symptoms you are encountering.

They block access to their web site to Tor users. This doesn't bode well for how Tor friendly they are. Their chatbot also claims tor is not allowed:
"Running Tor relays on a VPS from WEDOS is generally not allowed due to the potential misuse of such services for attacks"
Too bad becasue the price you quotes is attractive.
