[tor-relays] Cherryservers (formerly balticservers) account terminated for exit relay

Actually, Server Room/Primcast will allow you to operate with an unrestricted exit policy if you use their Data Center in Romania of if you want to use a server in the NYC datacenter, you could use one of my IP ranges I have out there.

If you want an alternative exit relay host (other than the common ones like OVH, Scaleway, or Hetzner), one option is Server Room/Primcast (same company). I use Primcast for a 300 Mbps FreeBSD exit and have been happy with them.

Server Room/Primcast is not the "best" provider, but they are good enough for the purpose of an exit and being less popular (as of now) helps with relay diversity.

However, you will need a reduced exit policy with SR/Primcast. I have a
**very** restrictive exit policy only allowing Ports 53, 80, 443, and
8080 (so I get less complaints). If you want a custom OS, you will need iLO (HP/HPE's remote management, Primcast uses HP/HPE servers). An older server (pre-2011) may mean you'll need Windows and Internet Explorer (NOT MS Edge) to use the console, while a newer server will work with
HTML5 on Windows/Mac/Linux/BSD/etc.
