VPS for tor exit nodes
Dear exit node operators, Could you please recommend vps providers allowing to run tor exit nodes? I checked many vps operators but most of them allow relays but not exit nodes according to AUP or ToS. thanks.
Dear exit node operators,

I can only say I have exits running on VPSs which either had no bar to exits originally and changed, or had but let me through anyway. One accepted a very plain statement of it being a Tor exit and even helped sort out numerous issues then, after I hired eight more annually, just stopped them. If you can face that possibility it does seem that the reduced exit policy stops the DCMA problems which only leaves the highjacking of them to harass others to draw attention to you. There's not much profit and they won't wasted time. Have a go.

So can you post some provider names?

Comsitec.de is one which is ok with exits but I have a lot of trouble getting their attention when it stops. It is in Germany which is much better than being in USA because the mentality is better. Two I have which now say exits are not accepted are Lunanode and Bluevm. One which was expensive but good is DrServer/AbusiveCores. The guy set up Tor when I had a problem with Linux!. Since some have said yes to exits when I paid but a week later 'introduced a new policy' I wonder if it is worth being open. If you know what can be done with fifteen VPSs for the next nine months which can't have Tor please tell me. Lowendbox.com is good for scavenging addresses and sudden bargains but it may be better in the long run to pay a little more and get more cooperation. It may be more useful to Tor at the moment to provide bridges and for that, I believe, the very cheapest VPSs would do the job e.g. $AUD15/year. Robert

I've used Linode and they are pretty good too. They just require you to deal with all the DMCA's in a timely manner, as well as block BitTorrent after repeated offenses. On Tue, Jun 3, 2014 at 5:56 PM, I <beatthebastards@inbox.com> wrote:

'Can't have tor' and 'can't have exit nodes' are two separate things. Middle nodes (aka non-exits) are helpful as well. Andreas -- "Totally trivial. Famous last words." From: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@*.org> Date: Fri, 22 Jan 2010 07:29:21 -0800

I tend to intentionally misread 'no tor' as 'no tor exit nodes', as this is what they would write, had they any clue about it. Relays don't produce much abuse traffic. I should run logging to see how long exits vs. relays last at, say, Hetzner (where my relays run). :-) Andreas -- "Totally trivial. Famous last words."

I checked many vps operators but most of them allow relays but not exit nodes according to AUP or ToS.
1) https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/GoodBadISPs 2) by looking to host an Exit node on a VPS as opposed to a dedicated server, you likely expect to pay much less to the provider than you would for a dedicated server. However the amount of trouble that an Exit node is going to bring to the provider stays exactly the same, and it's not even close to being justified by the profit they gather from a comparatively insignificant amount which you pay for that VPS. -- With respect, Roman
I have gone through the GoodBadISPs but I'm looking for latest input from exit operators. Selected vps because don't want to see provider bans my account sometime later when running an exit node on a dedicated server. But I'm ok if can get a dedicated server for a decent price. All I need is exit node friendly provider names. May be can limit abuse complains using reduced exit policy. Please post your experience.

Unfortunately, there is no such list. Also, you should avoid concentrating exit relays at certain providers for reasons of diversity. A good source for cheap VPS offers is lowendbox.com. What you can do is collect 50 or so sales@ email addresses of various providers, and email each of them to ask if they are ok with Tor exits, that you will quickly deal with all abuse mails, etc. Then, add your results to the GoodBadISPs page. -- Moritz Bartl https://www.torservers.net/
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Two that I've had experience with; I can tell you to stay away from RocketVPS, I had nothing but trouble with them. At the moment I'm using Cloudshards and while they haven't yet complained about tor (yet) they have had some pretty significant uptime issues over the last month or so, so I wouldn't recommend them at this stage, either.
