[tor-mirrors] New Mirror

Of course they aren't. The new servers are really cheap, where should they
take the money for the lawyers from?

By the way: They're pretty restrictive about anything proxy- and
irc-related. While they don't care about warez as long as nobody legally
complains, your server gets immediately locked for anything looking like a
backdoor, spam, DDoS-attacks etc.

I haven't actually found anything particular in the contract for
ovh.co.uk:
https://www.ovh.co.uk/support/termsofservice/special_conditions_dedicated_se
rver_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_loc
ation_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.
