Tor relay and exit node operation on AnubizHost bulletproof hosting:
Middle relays: Not exit nodes. Carry encrypted traffic through the Tor network. Generate minimal complaints as they don't make direct requests to external services. Well-suited for any VPS plan.
Exit nodes: Connect to external internet services on behalf of Tor users. Generate abuse complaints from services that see Tor exit IPs. Our bulletproof policies handle these complaints without terminating exit node accounts. Explicit exit node permission is included in our acceptable use policy.
Bridge relays: Unlisted entry points for users in countries where Tor is blocked. Low complaint profile. Valuable infrastructure for users in Iran, China, Russia, and other countries where Tor is blocked.
Iceland is the optimal jurisdiction for Tor exit nodes due to IMMI protection and strong press freedom tradition. Romania is also acceptable. We recommend reviewing the Tor Project's exit relay operator guide before deploying.
