We allow people to operate their own relay, on their own HVM instance (which we don’t have access to) for a donation of $15/month for a basic model A instance.

We provide support, we provide suggestions, but we don’t operate it for them, we don’t install anything for them, and we’re completely hands off unless they need support with something. Our job is to provide the instance and the bandwidth.

This is the 5th list post in the last few weeks describing Greypony IT's
services, operators, or relays.

There have also been several critical posts.

Please take a break from promoting or criticising Greypony on this list
until at least October 2018.

If you feel the need to respond, please use another platform.

Thanks
