Hi,

So I don't know if I will do it, but I am considering setting up a tor middle relay on AWS free tier. I have been asking their support tem regarding how much traffic one can push and remain free tier, their response was:

If your microservice application is using an RDS or Amazon DynamoDB Accelerator (DAX) database, the Lambda-to-database traffic will be free if it’s in the same region, including if VPC peering is used.
Traffic to databases in a different region will incur a regional transfer fee of $0.09 per GB for both the Lambda and database egress traffic. Ingress traffic is free for both.\"

I am wondering does anyone else run tor middle relays on AWS free tier, and what is the best torrc configuration to use for keeping the inbound and outbound traffic in free tier in case I do go fourth with this?

Thanks.
