Hello All !
About running a relay in the NL, what host company would you guys recommend ?
I also have that idea of running first a relay then an exit node, and would like some basic information or recommendation about host providers, like price /month, bandwidth included, satisfaction or quality, level of tor friendliness, whatever...
Thx for any help you can provide, tOreo
I have my node running here in The Netherlands at UPC, now merged with Ziggo. I contacted them once: back then they did not have a problem running even an exit node.

If that is a connection at your home and if that is an exit-node, be aware of the risks: your connection may be shut-down by your provider.

Running an exit node at home sounds a bad idea even without such consequences, I would expect to get blocked in random places even when not using tor. Unless of course you can dedicate a second IP, easier with IPv6.

Unfortunately, tor relays need at IPv4 address at the moment. So using different IPv6 addresses doesn't gain you anything (except the ability to connect to IPv6 sites from an exit).
Also, some blacklist operators/users even blacklist non-exit relay IPs (Apple's forums are the most obvious ones to me, but I'm sure there are more).
