Edis free of charge - http://www.edis.at/en/server/colocation/austria/
Unfortunately Edis has not been accepting Pi colocation for over 6 months now. The link on their website does not go anywhere. My questions on when they could again be accepting Pi's have remained unanswered ...

@rajprakash thanks for the mention. We rent Raspberries though, don't colo them. We make some hardware mods to the Pi, so coloing would not be appropriate.
@dnwk this is the link - https://www.fitvps.com/p/35
Nice... I might email them to see if they'll host my radxa rock xD
Bugger
@dnwk we'll do it as long as you have a case (not a bare pi). ipv4 only right now. Dallas, TX Corexchange.
PCextreme offers Raspberry Pi colocation in the Netherlands (I have one there, stable connectivity, no-nonsense)
http://raspberrycolocation.com
When I stumbled upon Kryutek today, I noticed they also offer Pi colocation, no personal experience though.

In Belgium: https://www.fusa.be/nl/hosting/special_colocation 1,50 Euro + VAT / month
Thanks for the info, I'm hoping they'll colocate my radxa rock at PCextreme
I'm almost sure they won't. I asked them if it was possible to upgrade my bandwith and they said it wasn't.
I can still get one colocated for free >;D
sorry im little confused with this raspberry? what this raspberry can do? can its host a server? running a vpn? or be a backup server?
Not really .....
@exp82, yes it can perform the things you mentioned. It admittedly has less computing power than the average smartphone these days, but it is still working fine for basic tasks.
I think one good use for the RPi (which I haven't tried myself) is to fully encrypt its SDCard and use it for a secure VPN. Then colocate in a safe datacenter (Austria, Switzerland, etc.) and tunnel your home connection through it. I think that would be one way to gain back our privacy from the NSA. If you set strong enough encryption they can't get your key even if they gain physical access to it. Also use in-memory filesystem and readonly SD Card.
Certainly much better than OpenVZ where the key can be easily obtained from an LET provider.
Someone didn't get the joke :P
@neroux .. if ya havent seen it..

There was a joke? Really, where?
Agreed, as far as the privacy aspect is concerned (shared system vs. encrypted dedicated system). However I miss the use of the VPN scenario above, even if everything is encrypted the outgoing data stream can be still compromised (unless its HTTPS, but then why a VPN in the first place).

Alas, all us United States users will still be screwed by the NSA even if we try this method. Our ISP can still track everything we do and will gladly hand it all over to the NSA without batting an eyelash. To be honest, I wouldn't be surprised if a few European ISPs would do the same.
I can colo rpi, 100mbps port, premium bandwidth blend, /29 IPv4 and /64 IPv4, PM me.
Yes they will track that you are establishing an encrypted VPN connection to an IP address in Switzerland. No way to keep that secret, but who cares? (And I hope you're not THAT clueless to claim "all encryption is broken by the NSA anyway").
I just wonder which type of site would actually require such precautions (and no, I am not trying to argue with the if-you-dont-have-anything-to-hide argument). Also, a full system encryption - as suggested by elwebmaster - wouldnt be necessary in this case.
I was answering the myth of "if you're in the US, there's nothing you can do".
Now, to go back to your previous post:
Point is that it becomes "outgoing" only in a supposedly freer country, where there's supposedly no government surveillance and censorship at least at the immediate uplinks and vincinity.
Because for example that's why: http://s.lowendshare.com/5/1403863781.604.2014-06-27T100840Z-skk.png
Agreed.
Agreed as well. My point was only that the full storage encryption is not going to help in case of a VPN.
I am obviously missing something, can you elaborate?
http://www.sankakucomplex.com/ has been deemed not Orthodox enough by the Russian government, hence Rostelecom is now MITMing HTTPS connections to it using their own certificate (rt.ru) to show the same thing they show on HTTP: http://s.lowendshare.com/5/1403864626.226.2014-06-27T102321Z-skk2.png
Along with hundreds of others, as well as some random CloudFlare IPs. That's why some of us don't even bother to browse anything "directly" anymore, instead always using a VPN/proxy on a VPS or dedi.
HTTPS is not the solution against censorship, so there is a use case to route HTTPS via a VPN too.
So you were referring to cases where an ISP is breaking SSL to intercept the traffic. Well, thats a different story .... my comment about VPN and SSL was for "regular" scenarios
Couldn't the hosting provider where you setup that VPN see what you are doing on their routers? So far if you really want privacy with a vpn then you have to pay the provider with fake IDs and untrackable currency just to make sure that they can't link anything to you if they decide to spy on you. It is alot of hassle just for a little privacy..
Precisely.
Even then, the authorities can simply go the other way round. Once they determined you are going through a particular server and managed to get the necessary access they simply filter the outgoing traffic.
