Tor Relay VPS in Romania
Middle and guard relays are the backbone of the Tor network - they carry encrypted onion-routed traffic without ever seeing the content or knowing the destination. Middle relay operators generate essentially zero abuse complaints because no external traffic leaves through their IP. Our Romania VPS I ($49.99/mo) with 2 vCPU and 5 TB bandwidth is a solid starting point for a middle relay contributing 15-30 Mbps to the consensus.

Sizing Your Romania Relay
Tor relay CPU and bandwidth sizing: a single-core relay handles approximately 100 Mbps before CPU becomes the bottleneck. Romania VPS I (2 vCPU) comfortably runs a relay at 150-200 Mbps. To stay within the 5 TB/month transfer cap: set RelayBandwidthRate 15 MBytes (15 MB/s = ~120 Mbps). Tor automatically distributes bandwidth between upload and download, so 15 MB/s rate is approximately 15 MB/s in each direction = ~30 Mbps total observed from the VPS perspective.
Relay Flagging and Consensus Weight
New relays gain consensus weight over 4-8 weeks as the directory authorities verify stability. A fresh relay starts with limited weight; after the ramp-up period, bandwidth authorities assign full measured weight. Expect meaningful contribution to the network after 2-4 weeks. Running your relay continuously (no reboots mid-week) during the ramp-up period speeds flag acquisition.
