You need to put things in perspective, and then consider how your request
looks to an outside observer. What you have is a relay:

  - at OVH, which is oversaturated with relays by any measure;

  - only 10 Mbit (seems hard-capped), even though you get unmetered 100 Mbit
    on your server;

  - IPv4-only, while OVH does provide IPv6;

To summarize, this is the worst location to start a new relay (some would say
adding more relays at OVH does more harm than good), the bandwidth is capped
ridiculously low, and you didn't even put much thought into setting it up.

It seems that you think you found a way to set up a tiny relay on the side,
exploit gullible people to pay you for it, and enjoy not only a paid-off
server (after all the fee is as low as 4 EUR per month[1]) which you can use
for your own purposes (with only 10% of the bandwidth given to Tor), but also
some free money on top.

Considering that many of us pay for multiple relays out of our own pocket --
actual fast ones with hundreds megabits at non-trivial locations -- and don't
run the first thing to the mailing list begging for money, your behavior is
nothing but disgusting.
