AMS-IX Peering and Tor Path Selection
The Netherlands sits at the center of European internet peering. AMS-IX, NL-ix, and direct private interconnects mean Tor circuit hops through Dutch relays have predictably low latency to almost any European or Atlantic-adjacent guard or exit. For middle relays specifically, this translates into higher selection probability under the consensus weighting formula.
Diversity Caveat
Honest disclosure: Tor already has significant Netherlands capacity. Adding more is useful but the marginal benefit is smaller than adding capacity in Iceland or Bulgaria. If diversity is your primary motivation, consider Iceland or Bulgaria. If raw throughput contribution is your goal, Netherlands is excellent.

MyFamily $FINGERPRINT1,$FINGERPRINT2If you run multiple relays in the Netherlands across our network, declare them as MyFamily so circuits never pick two of yours.
Anonymous Billing
BTC and XMR. No KYC. Most Dutch relay tenants are operators who already run relays in other jurisdictions and want to add NL capacity for raw throughput.
