That stinks. Linode has the same policy WRT exit relays.
If they get too many abuse complaints, they ask you to stop running a relay. The way US law is structured, I can't actually blame them for this. However they don't care if you're running a middle node. Your bandwidth/VPS, your call. A *lot* of people run bridge nodes there, myself included. -Chris (Running an exit relay in the US cost effectively seems quite difficult) On Thu, Jul 18, 2013 at 11:51 AM, mick <m...@rlogin.net> wrote: > On Thu, 18 Jul 2013 10:49:46 -0400 > Tom Ritter <t...@ritter.vg> allegedly wrote: > > > Sending this out, as I suspect I am not the only person running a node > > on SiteValley, as they have pretty good bandwidth for pretty cheap. > > > > I had inquired in the beginning if they allowed Tor, and they said > > yes, but if we get too many abuse complaints we'll shut it down.
