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.

Can't argue with that.

The difference in annual cost ($60 vs $180 USD) is the key factor for me  
right now. Don't want to pay $180/yr out of pocket right now.



..but anyway thanks for adding more OpenBSD relays.


Aye, I'll be trying out your Ansible playbooks in a bit.

Yes, there are several.

* Price (hardware bang for the buck. SSD, 1000GB bw/mo in most locations.  
Starter pkg is $5/mo)
* Features/usability (really like their control panel and website design.  
Snapshots are key, ability to re-deploy snapshots anywhere. Two factor  
auth with Yubikey.)
* OpenBSD supported via custom ISO install feature (This limits the field

2TB/mo is not a lot of traffic, it translates to less than 4mpbs in

 OVH is pretty good value,
 
 CAD$2.99/mo for 1GB RAM and unlimited transfer at 100Mbps (it’s
 speed limited after 10,000GB) and both IPv4/6.
 
 However there are 424 OVH relays across 12 countries might not fit 
 with your goal to add more diversity

Yes, OVH AS is probably the worst place to add relays from a diversity
pov since it is the AS with the highest CW fraction (10%).

 You might also want to consider the exit probability and use that
 in addition or instead of CW.
 
 I don't know if VULTR has multiple ASes but if they do you might
 also want to have a look at the group by AS results (if they
 allow you to choose).
 
 Thanks for the breakdown, that helps. The only hitch with the
 Sydney and Toyko locations is that instead of 1000GB/mo of
 bandwidth, you only get 200GB/mo.
 
 Would it be better (all things considered) to go with the UK
 location at 1000GB/mo vs Tokyo or Sydney at 200GB/mo?

Is there a specific reason why you limit yourself to vultr?

Hi Seth,

 I'm standing up a new exit relay on the VULTR network. How would a 
 person go about determining which location is in most need of
 additional exit relay capacity?

thanks for taking network diversity into account when setting up new
relays!

It might be oversimplified but using compass with group by country
ordered by consensus weight (or in your case exit probability) shows
you where most of tor network capacity is currently located. The goal
is to setup relays in new or rarely used locations.

So by using compass your list would look like this, ordered from
better to less good:

* (AU) Sydney, Australia (0.01% CW)
* (Asia) Tokyo, Japan (0.8% CW)
* UK (4.6% CW)
* US (10.1%)
* NL (12.4% CW)
* France (21.6%)
* DE (25.7% CW)
Note: the is a current snapshot and numbers change but AU or JP is
better then DE (from a capacity divers. point of view) - this will
also be the case in a week or a month.

You might also want to consider the exit probability and use that in
addition or instead of CW.

I don't know if VULTR has multiple ASes but if they do you might also
want to have a look at the group by AS results (if they allow you to
choose).
