[tor-relays] Tor Relay on Gandi.net
I was wondering if anyone had experience running a Tor relay on Gandi. According to
good-bad-isps, Gandi supports all relays.
However,
I contacted support asking them their policy on Tor and if their policy
was the same for all Tor relays. Their response was basically 'You can
install any software you want, but its use is subject to French law and
our terms of service. If a complaint is received, the Abuse department
will take appropriate action and notify you.'.
This
was pretty vague and kind of seemed like they didn't know what Tor was.
I responded and tried to explain what Tor was using most of what was in
the Common Boilerplate template. I explained that there were things
that I could do to reduce potential abuse, like limiting the exit
policy, but that there was always still potential for abuse.
The
next response came from the Abuse department and basically said 'Any
illegal activity on your IP will result in your server being shutdown.'.
Based on this, it seems like Gandi is not a good ISP for Tor exits, but likely fine for all other relays.
What's
a little confusing is that according to Tor metrics, Gandi currently
has Tor exits. It is only 2, but nevertheless, they exist.
France location has 2 exits, but
Luxembourg has none.
I'm not sure if
good-bad-isps
should be updated, given there's conflicting information, but I figured I'd ask if anyone had personal experience with Gandi.
Thanks.
