Hi Keifer, AWS EC2 charges for egress traffic (although ingress is free). For Relays, you will generally have about the same amount of ingress and egress traffic. The free tier has 100G/month free. After that, you need to pay for the "egress to internet" rate, which is "First 10 TB / Month, $0.09 per GB". You can choose to limit your relay to use only 100G/month, see "Monthly Outbound Traffic" section at https://community.torproject.org/relay/relays-requirements/
Please also check out AWS Lightsail, which has free 1-4TB traffic allowance per server. However, note that Lightsail charges for both ingress and egress towards this monthly allowance. I encourage you to check a few other cloud providers for their free tier monthly traffic allowance. For example, Oracle Cloud has 10TB/month... -- Yours sincerely, Xiaoqi Chen On Tue, Nov 29, 2022 at 11:28 AM Keifer Bly <keifer....@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, > > So I don't know if I will do it, but I am considering setting up a tor > middle relay on AWS free tier.
