Tor Middle Relay VPS in Finland
Finland already hosts a large fraction of Europe's Tor relay capacity, and the network benefits from more well-tuned middles in jurisdictions with stable rule of law. Our Finland middle-relay VPS deliver dedicated cores, AES-NI, and high-throughput uplinks at Nordic-baseline pricing.

Why Finland for Middles
Finland's network topology gives short-latency paths to other Nordic guards and to Central European guards, which improves circuit-build success for clients that select a Finland middle. The country also maintains no compulsory data retention for hosting providers and the Finnish ISP community is broadly Tor-tolerant.

HardwareAccel 1HardwareAccel ensures Tor uses AES-NI for relay cell encryption. Without it, sustained throughput caps around 300 Mbps even on fast cores; with it, 800+ Mbps is achievable on a single relay instance.
Path Diversity Contribution
The directory authority code-paths that select relays for circuit construction explicitly account for /16 subnet diversity and family declarations. By running a Finland relay you avoid clustering in the over-represented German Hetzner/OVH ranges, which directly improves anonymity for users whose circuits include your relay.
Crypto Billing, Long-Term Stability
Finland relay VPS bill in USD via BTC or XMR. No KYC, no monthly re-verification. Most of our Finland relays are continuous-uptime past the 6-month mark.
