Tor

Yes, that is the lazy response. In running a Tor server, the user is acting as an ISP. So they should not be held responsible. That said, I can understand DO’s position here, and will avoid running any exit nodes.

Basically the answer is: “you can do what you want, so long as it’s typical pattern of use will result in minimal traffic, so that we can over-subscribe our servers and basically charge full rates for what amounts to piping a couple of electrons through our cheap 40 Gbit NICs”. <br> <br>Do AWS or GCE have terms like this too…?

I can understand what the issues are with setting up a Tor exit node though on the other hand setting up Tor relays should presumably be ok. <br> <br>In lieu of NSA revelations and campaigns like Reset The Net https://www.resetthenet.org/ setting up Tor relays is a great way for individuals to get involved. <br> <br>What would be amazing would be for Digital Ocean to support the Reset The Net campaign and have a clear policy on what they do and do not support with regards to Tor. Talk to your lawyers if you have to, yes it’s that important. <br> <br>At the moment the EFF as a Tor Challenge campaign and so clarity from Digital Ocean would be awesome: https://www.eff.org/torchallenge/
