[tor-talk] Running a Tor exit node on a VPS: does location of node matter?

Hello all,

I am researching running a Tor exit node on a hosted VPS. I am currently looking at a big list of VPSs (www.lowendbox.com - thanks Moritz).

Most are similar - bandwidth, RAM, disk, IPs, etc.

For me as the operator of the node, does the location of the node, or more importantly the location of the datacentre/s where the VPS will live have any impact?

As a European country citizen does it make sense to locate the node in the US/Canada/Asia/Europe?

NB: I have no intention of using this node for illegal purposes, but seeing as this is the Tor network I cannot guarantee illegal usage will not occur.

Any thoughts? 

Thanks,
Bernard
