Hi list,
I am a (happy) Gandi customer and I'd like to support the Tor project by setting up an exit node on one of their VPS (https://www.gandi.net/hosting/iaas).
I left GANDI with my relay node because of their new bandwidth caps. Mind the bandwidth, unless you have the money to pay for it.
That's true. I don't really understand this policy that limits the bandwidth per account, independently of the number of servers and amount spent!
As mentioned on the list of Good/bad ISPs, (https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/GoodBadISPs Gandi does accept Tor exit nodes. I have contacted their technical support who said they did support the Tor project but wouldn't ne able to do specific ARIN declarations and that it would be my responsibility to be reactive to abuse complaints.
Despite this perspective (and Julien Robin's bad experience) I am still willing to give it a try.
Gandi have data centers in Paris (France), Luxembourg and Baltimore (US) that I can use with the same cost and efforts and I am wondering which of these locations would be more useful for the community.
I would avoid the United States like the plague when it comes to exit nodes, but that's just me.
That's what I was thinking too, thanks for the confirmation!
France is kind of iffy on free speech. Luxembourg, I have no idea - that's new since I left.
That's pretty new, yes.
Best, -Gordon M.
Thanks!
Eric
