Re: [tor-relays] Is OVH a safe vps provider to run an exit relay on?



William,

At (about) what number of relays per provider should we be considering looking elsewhere.

Cheers.

Hi,

no, OVH is the second most commonly used hosting provider, another
relay hosted there would hurt the network more than it would help:

We need to make the network as diverse as possible, in order to make
it as hard as possible for law enforcement and other bad actors to
de-anonymize tor circuits.

Look for a host, get it's AS ID, then input it here:
https://metrics.torproject.org/rs.html#search/as:<AS_NUMBER>

Example:

https://metrics.torproject.org/rs.html#search/as:AS197019

If this was a bit too much, I apologize - I will gladly answer any
questions you have.
