[tor-mirrors] New Mirror

[myRL.net Tor Mirror]

I haven't actually found anything particular in the contract for
ovh.co.uk:
https://www.ovh.co.uk/support/termsofservice/special_conditions_dedicated_server_2013.pdf

However, I have found this in the German ovh.de contract:

"9.1. Aus Sicherheitsgründen müssen sämtliche Nutzungendurch Kunden
vonnachfolgend beispielhaft und nicht abschließend genannten Diensten
vor einer vorgesehenen Nutzung bei OVH per E-Mail an kundendenst at ovh.de
beantragtwerden unter genauer Angabe der vorgesehenen Dienste; [...]
Anonymisierungsdienste aller Art (z.B. Tor) etc"

https://www.ovh.de/support/agb/OVH_Anlage_DRS_2013_2.pdf

which basically says that you have to ask them for permission before
running Tor at all (the way I understand it, AT ALL, meaning
client/relay/exit node, doesn't matter) for "security reasons".

Furthermore it continues: "Unabhängig davon ist der Betrieb von
öffentlich zugänglichen Proxy-Diensten und öffentlich zugänglichen
Exit-Nodes auf Servern der OVH ausdrücklich verboten und nicht
genehmigungsfähig."

Read: "public" exit nodes are not allowed at all and won't be authorized.

The French contract for ovh.com has something similar but different:

"7.4 Pour des raisons de sécurité, OVH se réserve la possibilité de
procéder à la suspension immédiate et sans préavis de tout Serveur sur
lequel serait proposé à titre gracieux ou onéreux, un service ouvert au
public de Proxy, IRC, VPN, TOR, pour lequel OVH aur ait connaissance
d'une utilisation malveillante, frauduleuse ou illicite."

>From my understanding saying that, again for "security reasons", they
reserve the right to suspend all services i.e. when running a "public"
Tor service.

https://www.ovh.com/fr/support/documents_legaux/Conditions_particulieres_location_serveur_dedie_2013.pdf

So overall it's safe to say OVH is pretty restrictive about running Tor
relays, not to mention exit nodes. Definitely not a Tor friendly hosting
provider.

Cheers.
