Re: [tor-relays] New exit node

Hello Olaf,

OVH, DigitalOcean and Vultr have servers in Singapore.
While this would probably add to geographic diversity,
I am unsure if it's a good idea to run more relays
in those AS.

On the other hand, I run several OVH-Relays at different
geographi locations.

Best regards,
Matthias
