Tor VPS Hosting in Romania

We support all standard Tor network roles:

• Middle relays: Forward encrypted Tor traffic between nodes. No external traffic, minimal abuse complaints. Ideal entry point for new Tor operators.
• Guard relays: Entry point into the Tor network for clients. Same operational profile as middle relays but higher consensus bandwidth weight.
• Exit nodes: Forward traffic to the open internet on behalf of Tor users. Generates abuse complaints from scanning activity. We handle exit node complaints manually under our jurisdiction policy, not with auto-termination.
• Bridges: Unlisted relays for censored users. Very low complaint volume. Especially useful given our CIS-market coverage (45-60ms to Moscow - good for Russian users accessing Tor).
• Hidden services (.onion): Services accessible only through Tor. No external IP exposure, zero external complaints.

Romania doesn't honor extraterritorial DMCA requests. Takedowns require Romanian court orders following EU due process — not a one-line email from a copyright holder. This keeps content online unless there's actual legal cause.

Romania is not subject to Roskomnadzor censorship requests. Russia's internet regulator has historically pressured Tor infrastructure operators; Romanian servers are outside that regulatory reach. For Russian users accessing Tor through bridges or relays, Bucharest is both the lowest-latency EU location and the most legally protected.

Tor relay performance scales with bandwidth. Our Romania VPS specs for Tor operators:

• 10 Gbps port per VPS (shared physical uplink, burst available)
• 5 TB/month transfer cap on VPS I/II/IV; 4 TB on VPS III
• Set RelayBandwidthRate to stay within your monthly allocation (15 Mbps sustained average = ~5 TB/month)
• VPS I (2 vCPU) handles middle relay at 200+ Mbps before CPU bottleneck
• VPS II (4 vCPU) handles exit node with higher circuit counts

Our exit node complaint process: receive complaint about IP - verify IP is in Tor consensus as exit node - respond to complainant with standard Tor operator response (explaining shared-IP network architecture) - forward complaint to operator as FYI - take no further action unless there is a valid Romanian court order. We don't auto-suspend exit nodes. Manual review for every complaint. This requires more staff time per complaint but is the only operationally correct approach for Tor exit operators.
