[tor-relays] Hivelocity is not longer serving my needs.

Hash: SHA256

I've had my exit relay running on a spare Hivelocity server that I had
for 17 days now. Even after a reduced exit policy I continued to
receive abuse reports. They have now asked that I stop running a tor
relay on the server.

I'm looking for a decent provider that can suit my needs of running a
fast exit node. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Thanks,
Tim

AVee,

Would it not be possible for me to specify the ExitNode in my torrc
and then do the wget to prove my "ownership"?
I haven't tried to specify a single node before so I'm not sure if it'd work.

Thanks,
Tim

Great to see Seth! I'm looking around Perth area at the moment for
cheaper bandwidth but can't seem to find anything near that kind of
price. A bit of a shame but it's the reality given Australia's poor
internet.

I gave it a shot, one thing I noticed. I haven't participated in any
conferences when I tried to leave the question blank it spat back
asking me to fill one in.

I would love to see some more nodes in Australia. I'm located in Perth
and the speed of the network it horrible. Not usable for day to day
internet which is unfortunate, hopefully it will pick up soon.

I might look into setting up a node here as my only running one is
located out of Australia
