[tor-relays] Shutdown of my digital ocean guard relay

[Dr Gerard Bulger]

Why not run it until they spot it and shut it down?!

Hi Guys

I today received notification from DO that they have changed their Terms of
Service and Acceptable Useage policies. Having read those changed notices it
is clear to me that DO are no longer really Tor friendly. They do not allow
exits and whilst my guard relay there (at roof.rlogin.net with fingerprint
EA8637EA746451C0680559FDFF34ABA54DDAE831)
has been running for nearly seven years I can no longer do that because of
the likely bandwidth charges in future. My DO relay has been using around 12
TiB per month for some time now and I could afford to let it run because I
was a "legacy" customer (i.e. early adopter of DO services who was given
"free bandwidth forever"). It looks to me from their new ToS that I will no
longer enjoy that status after 22 October.
So I have shut it down.

Any other relay operator using DO services should read their new ToS (1) and
AUP (2) and decide for themselves whether they will be affected.

My other guard relay at sink.rlogin.net on Hetzner's network will continue
in operation.
