Tor Exit VPS/Dedicated
I was wondering if there were any providers under $10/month (VPS) or $20/month (Dedicated) that wouldn't be opposed to a Tor exit node being run on their IP space, apart from OVH.
Of course, I am well aware of the inherent abuse that arises out of Tor exit nodes, and I don't mind being given incredibly dirty IP space that was used to run Buzzfeed's email servers or the VPN server for a Washington-based lobby group fighting for the right to talk on your cellphone during a movie.
On that note, I've offered to buy Buzzfeed's IP space but no replies.

Ask @William why this is a bad idea.
Yeah, wasn't an amazing time for him
. I remember reading the thread & all the blogs he posted up. However I never did find out the conclusion to it all...

I assume you're aware of this list:

Very much so, but more so curious about offerings close to the LEB price range.
Fines, probation, other crap. Was not the best idea, in the end very expensive for me.
Different situation behind a company, ideally anonymous, bitcoin is nice. $gov can search the owner of a company in Belize for a while, considering the lawyer as owner likely gives not much about the letter and neither does his gov. Not like anyone actually needs that company though, the ISP getting paid in BTC probably does not care. Not nice for the ISP though, i guess.
Pretty sure hiding majority control of a company with financial assets is legally questionable in most countries though, at least companieshouse keeps bugging me to fill this crappy lists.
I'm asking more out of curiosity rather than actually necessarily going through with it. I've been donating to TorServers instead.
That is the best way, keep the dedicated professionals at it.
I am running Tor exits at home, however, on another connection and only a few TCP ports, while allowing entry on port 80 and 443.
