[tor-relays] Dealing with OVH Abuse Complaints

[Patrick DERWAEL]

Hi,

I was considering moving my relay to OVH and asked them about their policies
The answer is that Tor is tolerated on physical servers, but strictly
forbidden on VPS
And BTW, their support is indeed terrible...

So, if someone could recommend a Tor friendly ISP in Belgium, I would be
pretty much interested!

Cheers
