Perhaps we can transfer the account ownership to TPO? Hopefully? Otherwise we'll need to make a whole new account and do #16650 all over again. > > I hope so. I guess the reflector is still running even though Google has suspended the Tor Bridges account? Strange terminology on their part. I used prepaid cards for Google and Amazon through 2014 and 2015 (until I set up a dedicated bank account for it). I didn't run into this problem, but maybe something has changed in their payment processing since then. Azure never let me use a prepaid card; it got rejected as such as soon as I tried to enter the number. If the app works even though the billing is messed up, I would guess that the project is running on the 1 GB daily free quota? > I also remember that we had to drop meek-google within Tor Browser as a PT due to some kind of service violation. If that is likely to happen again with the Moat reflector we should switch to Amazon or Azure now I suppose. The real reason wasn't a ToS violation per se, even though that's what the notice said. It was actually because of misuse by a hacking group: https://www.bamsoftware.com/papers/thesis/fifield-thesis.pdf#page=63. The ToS item that we were unsure about (which is currently [https://cloud.google.com/terms/service-terms#20-additional-restrictions 20.2]), to me, wouldn't apply to Moat: "Customer will not ... use the Services to provide a service, Application, or functionality of network transport or transmission...". -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/24432#comment:18> Tor Bug Tracker & Wiki <https://trac.torproject.org/> The Tor Project: anonymity online
