[tor-relays] Operating a sponsored relay II

My research is telling me I can not host a Tor relay at most retail ISPs because it is perceived as an "open relay" and these cause a lot of headaches for ISPs.

So that leaves colo, but this gets expensive fast.  This is very expensive outside the USA.  Could I work as an agent of torservers.net?  Is there a FAQ listing friendly ISPs?


I understand the need for documentation and receipts for expenses.  It might be helpful to get quarterly payments instead of monthly.

I was thinking of an USA Llc. for protection.  Looking at my notes I now remember an 's-corp' is better for a single owner (simple corporation).  Here is a link to the US commercial code for s-corps:

I would be happy to document the process of setting up a US s-corp. if I create one.

Cheers!
