Busco hosting que no me trate como criminal por usar Tor

99.99% or bust

I run two Tor exit nodes as a volunteer. Not for profit, not for crime, just for the network. : 99.97% uptime over 18 months, zero abuse complaints handled within 4 hours average. Yet three providers terminated me with 24 hours notice after detecting exit traffic. One flagged my account for "suspicious activity" before I even pushed 1GB. Current requirements:

  • Tolerate exit nodes with responsive abuse handling
  • Minimum 1Gbps symmetric
  • Status page that actually reflects reality
Contabo and OVHcloud rejected me in pre-sales. CloudCone was vague. About their network, but their policies are opaque. Anyone with actual experience?

436 days. reboot is surrender.

In the partner ecosystem, value-added redistribution opportunities are leveraged to synergize with emerging privacy-centric demand verticals. Our infrastructure is positioned to facilitate traffic of all classifications through strategic upstream leverage, with synergy-driven abuse management frameworks.

It is recommended that interested parties engage with our value-added redistribution portal for customized ecosystem alignment.

I run tor in the server since two years, actually is no problem if you make the abuse contact good, friend

How much exit nodes you have? In my experience people is too scared or what

Actually Hostinger accept tor but only in their latam location, not in europe, friend

IMO, the legal landscape matters more than the provider's marketing. YMMV, but in Spain, exit nodes have explicit protection under precedent from 2019. Latin America is patchier. Take it with a grain of salt, but I would not run exits from Mexico or Colombia without local legal review, regardless of what the host allows.

Three concrete options that have worked for people I trust:

  • RackNerd in Chile, written policy — https://www.racknerd.com
  • Leaseweb in Iceland, no questions asked but pricey
  • KnownHost in Switzerland, requires incorporation

None are cheap. All answer abuse tickets within hours, not days.

"responsive abuse handling" but they still booted you in 24h

How much bandwidth per month?

Currently pushing about 35-40TB per node, so 70-80TB total. Peaks at 6Gbps combined during European evening. That's why 1Gbps symmetric is the floor, not the ceiling.

Exactly the contradiction. I have templates, I answer within hours, I document everything. Two of the three terminations came from automated flags that never even generated an abuse ticket I could respond to. The third hit my abuse contact at 3am, I replied by 7am, and they terminated at 9am anyway. "Responsive" means nothing if the process is a rubber stamp.

This is why I will not touch providers who lean on automated abuse systems for Tor. You need a human in the loop who understands the difference between "exit traffic" and "abuse originating from the operator."

I have no exit nodes myself, but I run a middle relay on Leaseweb in Amsterdam. Their abuse team is slow for everything else, but for Tor they have a specific queue that actually knows what the network is. Pricey, as quinnbizz said, but you are paying for that human competence.

For filesystems, ext4 with journal checksums. You did not ask, but you needed to hear it.

Friend that is a lot of bandwidth, in mexico the fiber is not so cheap for that

Actually I have only middle relay, not exit, is more easy with the providers. But I think if you want exit node maybe you need dedicated server, not vps. The vps is too easy to terminate

Hostinger in latam is only vps, not dedicated, so maybe is not good for your bandwidth friend

This is the real answer. Every provider that tolerates exits does so on dedicated or bare metal, not on shared virtualized infrastructure. The risk calculus changes completely when you are the only tenant on the NIC.

RackNerd in Chile is the outlier in my list because they explicitly allow exits on VPS, but they cap bandwidth aggressively on those plans. For 70TB you would blow through their allocation in a week and pay overages that make Leaseweb look cheap.

If you are committed to this, budget for bare metal. The 2019 Spanish precedent I mentioned applies to the operator, not the hosting modality, but providers care about their own liability exposure more than yours.
