Any experience with Pulse Servers?
Hi everyone, I've been looking around for a new host for my Tor infrastructure, which includes exits, relays, and a bridge. I've been reviewing https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/GoodBadISPs and ran across Pulse Servers, which seems Tor friendly. They have VPSs in Canada and the UK and have really low prices on VPSs, which I'm trying to understand. I've been trying to learn more but I think they have a pretty small setup (apparently the owner does tech support) and documentation is limited. Does anyone have any experience or opinions on them? -- Jesse V

They are very tor friendly, and I have had an exit there for a few months, but I would suggest that you look for an alternate host. The owner has expressed concern over the excessive bandwidth consumption versus cost of the relays and would probably not be particularly excited to have a new relay running. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQIcBAEBCgAGBQJWWPKbAAoJECVOC2Tp0QhTL1AP/0Y6VU2Ei2HS9i7eaNHrttxA I1+7u47rhACWi/6ZctRv9w+SWtvyrS8mTyRkB6EV0a/YWU5npLdIH5SCbRUsnHe0 g8slm/bzSgqWMAm1sqwG+6w0fVQB4XDy9wQp9RjAXe1A1cPVoocbr6jix3iorIFk FIR98T+H/mjICcr3fUgx6ORJRl4kXdGZ4NZWLBYcftfOg3Eyk0kd62DPXKPZKDga rGwYF6QzT9wD1mpjRIjCU89n+DkqZv39Z/gpgLbxDZvimQ56LNgBythLGoZgdBsk /4/NUBkE6PcRMFNrOTEsAIgdqfIxtilTOpx+ctXZKEWocY3UqWHiF3G6ENNqaK91 RIsIcu+ZRAYWdXOcKQ0Ruq4EHCEqTmDuC8Mu5Ykz1IUgVLu0NmpK7oVm3x6fe9Ox jZRXMTIs4vObJts4yNeBs1ID6j48C+9Faoyy3ugZUSZG9k/NpWarpdaKF5uKaZfT O9yLFbDOO/3MrUsSaSxmLUot/vYgUAh8I8TAZU1aXH74Tq+ljy3cd/6y9JoYLY+5 H3B3gfyEiXBfRV5UkIVwEsfskey7jfdIlPQLiVZEeBQT8r8/GcnK+LuDGUWRwU+9 bt5JRYGQW8NlaQpY7l63r5hDCyrB6JaYJ4VPnlLXJdYfutTOLJVf0WUDFyjHxgPK 1eB6ggaxFlIx/LfUjSZe =H/ts -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
I asked about running an exit there (though I currently only run a non-exit), and he said that I should buy a "Two" ($18/mon) and limit it to 100 Mbps (compared to the 1000 Mbps they advertise). I've run my non-exit there on a "One", limited to 100 Mbps and had no issue. I haven't tried running the non-exit at 1 Gbps. hope that helps.

I've been running my exit node at Pulse Servers since February 2015 and the provider is very Tor-friendly indeed, but perhaps is not the most cost effective. I'm paying to the "Two" ($18/month) plan and have never been contacted w/r/t any traffic/bandwidth issues. On Fri, Nov 27, 2015 at 8:53 PM, Greg <greggth@gmail.com> wrote:
