* Quoting Nick from the team: "Yes hosting tor relays is allowed, however depending on the VPS you choose you'll probably want to enforce a speed limit"
|
|
|
* I've asked their support and I got a negative answer (4/2012): "We used to allow Tor on our nodes, but unfortunately we have had some issues with our datacenter (Hetzner) in terms of AUP and such. Sorry but we cannot allow anything tor-related anymore."
|
|
|
* That's sad but understandable. This policy likely means "no new Tor relays". I had some problems with abuse this month (5/2012), and they said it's fine for now but if they see too much abuse they would ask me to switch to a non-exit node. Still counts as a good experience as Nick seems to be very understanding of Tor.
|
|
|
* '''No longer''' allows exits at all. Middle relays are fine.
|
|
|
* **No longer** allows exits at all. Middle relays are fine.
|
|
|
* Tried to sign up for VPS for non tor related purpose, was informed that when doing a "fraud check", they found my email associated with Tor. I asked for a refund.
|
|
|
* I've had a good experience running a relay at Afterburst for several months now. Exits are no longer allowed and fair usage applies to your speed. I set off their proactive network monitoring for too many outgoing connections to destination port 22. They were easy to work with. After showing this was Tor relay traffic I haven't had any issues since. (07/2014)

If you decide to run an exit router, I highly encourage the use of the "reduced exit policy". Allowing port 80 web traffic resulted in too many (malicious) complaints and they asked for me to take the router offline. I complied by turning it into a non-exit relay, but turned it back to an exit router using the reduced exit policy a couple of months later, and I haven't received any complaints yet. Just be nice and communicate openly with them, they fully support the idea of Tor, but being a small company they can't handle a lot of abuse complaints. I push as much as 30 TiB a month with a single exit router since they have no data caps. They also provide static /29 IPv4 networks, /64 IPv6 networks, and reverse DNS for a flat $25 setup fee.

(2016-12-05) I contacted Hetzner before hand to confirm that Tor exit nodes are allowed, and I was told that exit nodes are permitted on the condition that the operator uses a dedicated machine and responds to abuse complaints in a timely manner. Within 3 days, my machine had generated 69 abuse complaints, and I was told that this is unacceptably high and that my server would be blocked. I had to change it from an exit node to a relay.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The abuses in question included p2p sharing as well as hacking such as accessing pages like "/../../../wp-admin.php". Abuse complaints of the latter form happened several times per day which given that requests are processed manually by Hetzner staff (or so they say), even an exit policy that allows only 53/80/443 will likely generate enough complaints to anger the staff.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The servers are very cheap, so I would recommend them from bridges or relays, but not for exit nodes.

I asked sometime in early 2016 whether or not Tor exit nodes were permitted. I explained clearly that exit nodes could result in abuse traffic, and that I would be willing to take care of the abuse traffic. They responded, in somewhat broken english:
|
|
|
{{{
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
DEAR CUSTOMER,
|
|
|
|
|
|
TOR ALLOWED
|
|
|
}}}
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
However, my VPS, which were hosted in Moldova, was subsequently suspended after a honeypot caught it trying to brute force a WordPress installation. I eventually managed to get the VPS running again under the condition that I run only a non-exit relay. Maxided has a large number of servers (both dedicated and virtualized) in many parts of the world, and they're known for being extremely liberal with their abuse handling on their higher end servers. Given that they have options specifically for Xrumer (a popular email harvester and forum spambot), it's likely that they'd allow Tor exit relays if you pay them enough. My $7 VPS just wasn't going to cut it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
I plan to buy a new VPS in another country from them, and run a relay with a reduced-exit policy. If that works out any better, I'll update this section.

Contacted them regarding Tor, they didn't list it in their terms. Their response was "Thanks so much for taking the time to inquire about Tor before hand. We do allow it. Just be sure to keep an eye on your bandwidth usage so that you don't go over and incur overage fees. It's easy to monitor your bandwidth usage via the SolarSystem." Tor exit, and Tor relays are ok, just be sure to contact them before hand to let them know your intentions of running a tor node.

While we do not directly prohibit TOR services on our network, including TOR exit nodes, you have to be aware that you are responsible for the service you lease from us.

This means that in case abuse issues happen, you will have to solve the issue, which is not easy with open proxies such as TOR exits.

We support the idea and community behind TOR, but due to the massive abuse that TOR is used for and being a responsible network operator we are unfortunately not able to to provide any special treatment for TOR nodes, or any other open proxies. ~cw (December 3, 2019)

Thank you for contacting us. Yes, we allow using TOR without limitations. In fact we even encourage it provided that it is secured and most abuse is blocked.
|
|
|
It will be best if you block 25 port because of spam, but also 22 port because recently we have many complaints for SSH bruteforce attempts and scans from exit nodes.

Our control panel currently does not have the function for rDNS - we will be adding it soon, but you can always request a rDNS change by sending an email or opening a ticket. ~cw (December 1, 2019)
