Hey, for a few days now I'm looking for an appropriate ISP for my new exit relay. There are a few problem I am facing now: 1.) Since I'm living in germany it isn't the very best to host an exit relay in germany, so I need to know which country is (law related) the best country I could host my VPS.

Great idea! We could even share information about the legal situation on exit relays of the different countries. This would help people to get orientation in finding the best location. Maybe we have some people in this list who have got experience with those different countries and could provide

Thanks Alexandros, for your reply. At first it's not the abuse reports that I fear. It's more the legal problems. In germany you can get in big problems when the wrong traffic goes over your exit relay. I know german hosters (including my ISP) that allow exit relays but it isn't the very best

I couldn't agree more with this statement, IMHO there's more importance in bringing exits to diverse locales that spread the jurisdictional problems over a wide geographic space. The more exits running in various places the more of a normalizing effect this has on what Tor is, how it

If I had the cash I would rent a server at Cyberbunker but it's to expensive to only run a relay there. If you want to run your exit node anonymously, checkout chmuranet https://chmuranet.com/ They are in the seedbox business but accept tor exits, too. You need to handle abuse within
