This page aims to list community experiences with Tor and various Internet Service Providers (ISPs) around the world. Some ISPs are Tor-friendly, some are not. Some are competent and clueful about Tor or about security in general. Let us know!

Be sure to provide useful information like how much bandwidth you pushed, whether you thought the deal was cheap or expensive, how hard you had to work to make them understand what's going on, how long your server has been running, and whether you'd recommend them to others. Also include dates.

Since non-exits do not attract complaints, it should be fine to run them without contacting the hoster first. Make sure you understand their policies regarding bandwidth, especially on "unlimited" (fair use) contracts. For exit relays, you should read the fine TorExitGuidelines first.

For network diversity and stronger anonymity, you should avoid providers and countries that already attract a lot of Tor capacity. ​compass is a great tool that allows you to group probabilities by country and AS (autonomous systems), so you can more easily identify networks you want to avoid.

Note: This page is currently being revamped. If you would like to help out please see Ticket #13421

Proposed ISPs

The table below contains some community-suggested ISPs which have yet to be contacted and/or evaluated on their policies towards Tor hosting of any kind.

(MM/DD/YY) ​ https://www.vpsbg.eu/en/ Yes Yes Yes You can run anything you want as long (tor nodes are specifically allowed) as it's not a spam relay, botnet controller, they are pretty flexible regarding the packages they offer and will give a few days to test them before deciding. IPv6 is available (you have to ask) and the customer support is really helpful and will go the extra mile to help you. You will also be warned first if you do something wrong so you have a chance to fix it and warned again and again... The servers are pretty fast and there's usually discount codes available. They don't collect any personal info and you can pay in bitcoin. It's open vz so no new goodies like btrfs and there could be more ram and storage space, but overall I'm very pleased with them. Oh, and the bw limit is tx only. pekarnamismas, 01/11/2016

The cheapest VPS is around 8 Euros. Not useful for high traffic nodes, they limit heavily after 5TB Here ​ Afterburst Yes No Provides unmetered VPS on 1000mbps line. Fair usage applies. The Micro package fair usage is 1-2mbit a second which I gladly honor. Been hosting an exit relay since November 2011. As of March 2014 exit nodes are not allowed according to their acceptable use policy. Here ​ myLoc Managed IT AS31010, AS24961 Yes Yes No Leider müssen wir Ihnen mitteilen, dass sich diese Einstellung bei uns geändert hat und wir möglichst mit Kunden arbeiten möchten, die keine Abuse-Vorfälle bei uns verursachen.

Hier bitten wir Sie um Verständnis, dass wir Ihre Anfrage daher ablehnen müssen. - Axxxx Kxxxx Here 2018-10-25 ​ linevast Yes Yes Yes Only allowed on dedicated servers (written in their ToS and outlined in the correspondence with their support team) 13/11/2015 ​ Server4You Yes Yes No Part of ​ Intergenia AG) hasn't complained about a Tor server (running on a non-virtual server) pushing 300GB/month for more than two years. They only block incoming port 6667. They are hosting more than a dozen Tor servers. -- SvenNeuhaus (2008/01)

Server4You limits on virtual servers are ridiculous, actually. numtcpsock 288, tcpsndbuf/tcprcvbuf 3598712, lots of failcnt. Can't use them with Tor. (2010/02)

I've asked Server4You support and they state servers with complaints about Tor will be canceled immediately (see the quote in the "Bad Experience" section) ​ Hetzner Yes No Offers good dedicated root servers for a good price. You can even install your own Windows Server license via KVM console. Since I've got such a root server hosted by hetzner, I asked them how the situation with TOR nodes is at the moment. Here is the answer (in german): "Das ist bei uns nicht direkt verboten, aber ich empfehle dies zu unterlassen. Es sei denn Sie wünschen explizit Besuch von der Kripo, Gericht usw. Das könnte Sie auch ins Gefängnis bringen. Denn Sie sind persönlich für alles verantwortlich, was über das Tor-Relay übertragen wird." This means they are allowing it but every hoster of a node should be aware that you might get some mail or visits from the police b/c you are responsible for every bit and byte that is transmitted via your relay server. But if you are looking for a hoster that is providing performance, good bandwith and much traffic. Some people in the past reported, that the technical support is really bad but my problems where solved immediately and quick. ​ Contabo Yes Yes Has no restriction for relays or exit nodes. However, possible abuse complaints will be forwarded to the owner and need to be addressed. "Bezüglich Ihrer Anfrage können wir Sie darüber informieren, dass Sie prinzipiell exit nodes (TOR) auf unseren VPS Modellen nutzen können. Sollten wir jedoch Beschwerden gegen Ihre IP Adresse erhalten, werden wir entsprechende Schritte einleiten müssen." -- Viktorio Z. (2018/06) ​ Strato Yes No Twitter support says non-Exit Relays are okay (as long as you don't harm their infrastructure), but Exit-Nodes are prohibited by their general terms and conditions "Solange Sie mit der Tor-Nutzung nicht unsere Infrastruktur beeinträchtigen und auch nicht gegen die AGB verstoßen, ist das kein Problem", "Non-Exit Nodes sind gestattet". ​ https://twitter.com/strato_hilft/status/552447913839050753 ​ PraHost Yes Yes Stated in November 2014 that they allow exit nodes if abuse complaints are handled.

Suspends the server if no "valid" action (read: blocking) is taken within 24 hours of an abuse ticket.

Their ticket system does not reliably handle email replies, use the web interface instead. 2017-10-31 ​ DomainFactory Yes No Are OK with non-exit relays, transfer is fair use, I run a ~50Mbit on a 100MBit port, never heard complaints. ​ NetCologne Yes Yes I asked them about running tor exit node on home network (high interent speed locally available). They allowed that. Full correspondence

They only say you should answer abuse requests in 24h, so it seems Tor exit is ok for them as long as they don't get in trouble themselves. Same goes for Mixmaster nodes. ServerAstra has unmetered 100Mbit traffic for about EUR 20 per month. You can use the 100Mbit 24/7 and they won't complain or reduce the bandwidth. They have some security issues including plaintext-only admin panel and web console, and sometimes shut down servers that generate abuse complaints, even when they know that the host is a Tor exit.

https://bytesized-hosting.com/ doesn't allow tor exit nodes ​ https://cloudvps.com/ does not explicitly deny tor nodes in the Terms of Service, but abuse@ agressively demands removing. Terms include "If i find the service enabled once again we will stop the vps to prevent further problems for other customers" (from abuse@…) and "I hereby conclude that running Tor on our VPS services is not allowed, especially if this impacts our other customers as well." (from servicedesk@…). Precedent in June 2015.

Notes:

Unixshell/Tektonic are the same company. They nullroute you on the first abuse complaint. Middleman nodes are ok, but the abuse dept requests "SafeLogging 0" set in your torrc and wants full access to your logs on demand.

Verizon FiOS officially does not allow any incoming traffic, they reserve the right to disconnect you at any time for violation of this policy. Users have run middleman nodes without any incidents from VZ. Exit nodes with abuse problems have resulted in legal threats and disconnection threats, but no disconnection as of yet.

​ Exigent initially gave permission to run an exit node, but later cancelled.

​ A1 (former Telekom Austria) Randomly creates DROP rules for Client connections to Guard nodes in their firewall, together with a time-limit after which a rule will be deleted. Those firewall rules are maintained individually for each customer, so one can be affected while it works fine for another one at the same time. When asked they told, that they're doing it "for reasons". When asked again they told, that they're doing it "to discourage the use of the illegal (sic) TOR network".

IMPORTANT UPDATE regarding "Amazon Web Services aka AWS" (23 February 2016) from www.grepmaster.eu: Mr. Christian Spicker (spickerc@…) wrote (via e-mail) "[sic!] Hallo Herr Kühl,

ich habe für Sie Informationen zu TOR-Nodes eingeholt. Die Antwort bezieht sich auf offene Netzwerk Services, d.h. auch TOR. Nach unserer Auslegung der AWS Nutzungsbedingungen ist die Erstellung eines TOR-Netzwerks leider nicht gestattet, bzw. stellt einen Verstoß gegen unsere Nutzungsbedingungen dar.

Hier die direkte Antwort in Englisch (AUP = acceptable use policy):

Even assuming no Illegal content is accessed, noting the section of the AUP for "No Network Abuse" which says - Prohibited activities include: * Operation of Certain Network Services. Operating network services like open proxies, open mail relays, or open recursive domain name servers. ... I'd think that a Tor exit node is effectively an Open Proxy - anyone can connect via it (Open) and it then makes requests on their behalf (Proxy) ... and therefore would be in breach of the AUP.

Ich hoffe, ich konnte Ihnen weiterhelfen.

​ netcup GmbH allowed hosting and does not restrict any Tor services at all but everybody should be aware that there can be huge legal consequences if laws are broken. I received this statement from the CEO Mr. Dipl.Ing. Felix Preuss today via mail (goose, 07.11.11)

netcup changed their AGB (sometime around mid 2012) and disallow any tor service. They actively sweep their network for tor traffic and send you abuse notifications, if they find even a tor relay (nichrome, 07.08.2013)

Me and a friend hosted Tor both on our own netcup server a year ago, and the consequences were fatal! They wanted more than 350 EUR for a special effort (disable my and my friends server). We responded with the official EFF statement about Tor. No response from netcup. 1. dun, 2. dun. We went to a lawyer. He wrote them. No response from netcup. 1. collection agency, 2. collection agency. Lawyer responded to them and to netcup. No response from netcup. Finally they gave up. But they NEVER responded to any action me or my friend took. I wouldn't recommend netcup as a Tor friendly provider. NEVER!

I also had a _terrible_ experience with netcup:

The service in it self was not very good. Being artificially limited to 400KB/s is extremely bad, especially when bandwidth was supposedly 'free'.

Inability to cancel something via the internet that I was able to order via the internet. How can I legally enter an agreement over the internet but not exit an agreement? That is ludicrous.

There was ~ only one abuse complaint every second week. They refused WHOIS IP reassingnment. I switched to a non-exit-policy. Update 2016-06-21 They cut off my non-exit Tor server because it was causing their IP address range to appear on the ​ Sectoor Tor blacklist.
