Hi All,
I have a *free* membership for a year on Amazon's AWS (*capped* at 15GB/month of traffic each way).
I've been running an exit node with a reduced exit policy on an ec2 instance for months and have received my first abuse notice. I'm sure a few on this mailing list may have received the same or similar abuse notification from Amazon. Besides shutting down the exit, what measures did you take to deal with this? What would be the consequences of ignoring their email and continuing to run it?
Note: I'm a student and am running on a really tight budget at the moment (reason for not hosting it on a paid vps)
Any suggestion(s)/help is appreciated :)
Best, Snehan

If Tor exits are against the AUP, you shouldn't be running one.

That's not an abuse notification, that's an AUP notification, meaning that AWS does not allow operating a tor exit node in their datacenter. You could always configure it as a relay (disallowing exit) if you still want to contribute your "free" resource credits, assuming that non-exit nodes are allowed in Amazon's AUP (I have heard that they are).

Well for example you could run some IRC or IM related service, or something else where you don't transfer a lot of stuff from/to the VPS in general.
However my chief concern with the AWS would be that they don't turn off your VPS as soon as you exceed the 15GB, they start *charging* you for the bandwidth overage, at pretty exorbitant rates, and then bill directly from your credit card (which they require that you leave with them when signing up for this). Also I believe there are some limits on the amount of disk access, with the same billing policy. Basically the "free" AWS is a minefield, one mistake and you can find yourself paying ridiculous amounts for it.
As for being "on a tight budget", you cannot afford one euro a month[1], two euros a month[2], 15 USD per year[3], really? Not to mention getting 500GB to 2 TB bandwidth on those, not 15GB.
The free AWS is the most widespread mistake in choosing "your first VPS" for just about any purpose (and as mentioned can be a dangerous one); probably because people are generally unaware how cheap the actual proper VPSes can be.

Am I right in thinking that even 2 TByte/month is fairly low? That's only 6 Mbit/s average (whether that's 6/6 or 3/3 depends on their accounting I suppose).

That's correct, however I don't have any unmetered offers to recommend, which would be as cheap as those mentioned, and at the same time would not be at OVH or DigitalOcean (which, as recent discussions show, have "too many" relays already).

I hope you are not wasting money for 2TB/month non-exit relay VPSes if you can get unmetered for 3.33 Euro / months doing ~40MBit/s in each direction.

Looking it up:
SEFLOW Avoid it. they say it's against Italian law to have a Tor relay, asked which law, they said to contact a lawyer. (atrent: do you need a more articulate explanation? I'm the one who had the bad experience, I have all the emails exchanged and I can translate them); "i'm sorry but tor is not allowed in our service." (fusl, 02/2015)
No TOR at all is allowed?

Yeah, that was my fault :( He kicked my exit and is since then no more accepting any exits ...
