Today I received a message from PayPal that paying for Tor relay server leases was a direct violation of my usage agreement. I have been paying off-shore VPS hosts for my Tor server leases with PayPal for at least ten years. Very interesting that they act now.

That's very interesting. I wonder how they knew that you were hosting a Tor relay. Did you ever enter anything in the notes field of a PayPal transfer? I learned the hard way that if you enter certain keywords (gun, bomb, drugs, etc.) into the notes/reference field of a PayPal transfer they will quickly suspend your account. Thanks, Matthew.
