[tor-relays] Sitevalley is no longer Tor-friendly

Sending this out, as I suspect I am not the only person running a node on SiteValley, as they have pretty good bandwidth for pretty cheap. I had inquired in the beginning if they allowed Tor, and they said yes, but if we get too many abuse complaints we'll shut it down. So maybe 4 or 5 abuse comp

I'm currently trying to build a network on Brazil. The main problem is to get a fast network link. Telecoms brought out shitty infrastructure and high "combo deal prices". But I hope that bringing up more nodes should attenuate the issue. At least for web browsing. -- Luther Blisset GNUPG/PGP KE

I don't see anything specific regarding Tor or its capabilities in their AUP. But there are bits that could be extended to cover Tor. Which it appears they did, whether for bandwidth or cost of dealing with 'complaints'. They are in New Hampshire, perhaps you could let the FreeStateProject know (c

That stinks. Linode has the same policy WRT exit relays. If they get too many abuse complaints, they ask you to stop running a relay. The way US law is structured, I can't actually blame them for this. However they don't care if you're running a middle node. Your bandwidth/VPS, your call. A *
