Well, my toughts are that there are some providers out there who will provide 
you with an server while beeing anonymous. But that aren‘t many and they are 
expensive, so called bulletproof hosters. The thing is: You shouldn‘t even have 
to stay anonymous just because running an exit relay, but as Isaac said, LEA 
are not very well informed sometimes. And if you don‘t stay anonymous you have 
to fear seizures or a bust at home - and thats nothing a relay ooperator wants. 
Thats the reason for me too to stay away from an exit node for now :/

Just for your information: a good anonymous hoster would charge 100 dollars per 
month or more for an 100 mbit unmetered server.___

Hi Boris,

I would welcome the opportunity to tie my name to my exit nodes, if it weren't 
for the 1%-3% of illegal traffic that could land me in jail for the uneducated 
LEAs.  And if it weren't for that 1%-3%, I would encourage a movement for 
residential users to set up exit nodes in their homes to utilize the wastefully 
underutilized bandwidth they're paying for.

Make your day great,
Isaac, t...@sechsnulldrei.org

A question to all: does it make sense to run an exit relay anonymously to avoid 
such issues? If they decide to block a relay, the operator loses his time and 
money anyway, but at least his body is secured.

Hello fellow operators of tor relays out there! :)

I'd like to introduce my new relay, it's called keepyourprivacy and hosted in 
the Netherlands, at a provider which is known for high uptime and great network 
connectivity. Because it isn't very cheap, it's not very common used for tor 
relays, so i think it's a good choice for a better network diversity. :) Sure, 
i liked the idea of running a cheap relay at Kimsufi or something, but there 
are so many of this relays out there, which isn't good for the basic idea of 
Tor.

It's running on a dedicated server with an dedicated 100 mbit/s full-duplex 
uplink, which is only used for Tor. So over 60 TB can be pushed each month. In 
these days Tor needs more help than ever, because VPN bans becoming more and 
more common - look at China or Russia for example.

https://atlas.torproject.org/#details/59633E5F42DDA009798B173944367D7F50B1BDF3

I'm also playing with the idea to change this relay to an exit node, but i'm a 
little bit worried about possible legal consequences. I would run it with an 
reduced policy however, but there is still the risk, that someone is doing 
fraud - or even worse - transmit child pornography over it. And that's nothing 
i'd like to be involved with it. But i know that it would help the Tor network 
even more.

But for now, i think the middle relay with high uptime, capacity and with a not 
so common provider like OVH or online.net will still help 
the community to improve the connectivity.

Let me know your thoughts! :)

Thank you for running the relay!

I believe running a public relay does not fix the issue with VPN and
Tor bans, because they can regularly check the list of public relays
and ban all of them (what many cites including so-called "the free
encyclopedia" do to ban Tor exits). Running a Tor bridge is a more
efficient response to the censorship of this kind. Do not see this as
a criticism - you are still doing a very good job here!
