Fwd: [tor-talk] please advise on renting a gigabit capable dedicated server
In case there are people that don't subscribe to both. -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [tor-talk] please advise on renting a gigabit capable dedicated server Date: Fri, 2 Jan 2015 19:31:05 -0600 From: Christopher Yeager <jager@farmhouseproject.org> Reply-To: tor-talk@lists.torproject.org To: tor-talk@lists.torproject.org Hi tor users, my coworkers and I are considering getting together to run a gigabit exit relay and are curious if you all have advice as to the best place to go shopping for a server with 1gbps dedicated bandwidth in a location that is helpful to the network. Someone on irc pointed me to this list, but I'm happy to ask on another if it would be more appropriate.

Some friends and I used to run a 1GBit Reduced Exit[1] in the US at Applied Operations[2] for $800/mo, which included hardware rental. Not sure if that deal is still available, but they were Tor-friendly. 1. https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/ReducedExitPolicy 2. http://www.appliedops.net/. -- Mike Perry
I have a question. Do you mean with "to go shopping for a server" buying hardware yourself and rent rackspace or searching for an offer of a dedicated server? Am 05.01.2015 um 15:14 schrieb Mike Perry:

If you search for renting an already racked server I recommend to you ViralVPS.com Just don't be irritated by the name :-) They also have physical dedicated server for a nice price. Link: https://clients.viralvps.com/cart.php?gid=10 In general: For 100 British Pounds excluding VAT you get CPU: Intel Xeon E5-2603 (4C/4T @1,8 GHz) RAM: 16 GB Storage: 120 GB SATA3 SSD 1 GBit/s Switchport 20 TB monthly traffic included 5 IPv4 addresses /64 IPv6-Subnet Everything stored in a 19" Supermicro case. IPMI with chassis intrustion detectio. The webinterface of the IPMI is only available via OpenVPN. I also have one of these and I'm running multiple stuff and my tor exit relay on such a machine. ViralVPS has some racks in the Severius Datacenter in the Netherlands. I recommend this hoster because of the good internet connectivity. If you really need 24/7 1 GBit/s you'll get that there without any complaints. Of course you should plan in some more money for the overage traffic. Another great benefit is that you can design your harddrives as you want. No need for RAIDs or kind of that stuff. Another thing I want to mention is the support :-) Normally the response time is below 30 minutes. BTW: If this was too much advertisement I want to apologize. ~Josef Am 05.01.2015 um 15:42 schrieb Josef 'veloc1ty' Stautner:

I personally run exits with various providers, the connectivity varies with each but there are three I think are worth mentioning. https://www.flokinet.is/servers It's worth noting that their Romanian servers actually have unmetered bandwidth. https://en.alexhost.md/dedicated-server-in-moldova.html Good provider, unmetered traffic. Only 100Mbps though. http://www.online.net/en/dedicated-server/dedibox-xc I have a couple of those. 1Gbps link with guaranteed 150Mbps and unmetered for €15.99 / month. -- Kura t: @kuramanga [https://twitter.com/kuramanga] w: https://kura.io/ [https://kura.io/] g: @kura [http://git.io/kura] On 05/01/2015 15:13:08, Josef 'veloc1ty' Stautner <hello@veloc1ty.de> wrote: If you search for renting an already racked server I recommend to you ViralVPS.com Just don't be irritated by the name :-) They also have physical dedicated server for a nice price.
