Where to put a Tor Exit node?

Hello,
I'm looking for ideal locations to place an Exit node at.
Give me some suggestions please.
Requirements:
- 99% Uptime
- CPU at least a Quad core @ 3.0Ghz or higher.
- For bandwidth either 1Gbps/30TB, 1Gbps/100TB, or 1Gbps "unmetered."
- Lenient on Abuse notices.
Budget: $40-$100
Thanks,

Bumblehive would be a good start.
(sorry)
Sorry, I couldn't resist. When someone asks me where to put something...
I see the thread title, click on it while considering posting "up your arse", then backtracking with "they'll send me a warning" and scroll down to see the admin has posted it - big smile on my face.
Confidence on LET restored!
Can I get legitimate suggestions..
Not even a courtesy laugh for the aqua teen reference? Tough crowd.
I legitimately don't know who meets those network requirements but also allows exit nodes.
Well there seems to be a lot of Trabia tor nodes, have you checked them out?

Sorry, I just can't imagine you'd get a real suggestion here for a provider that would allow a Tor exit node. There's no way to just stop all types of various abuse that come from them....?
Why not find current exit nodes and see what datacenters they're hosted in and base it off of that?
Thanks for this. We already had a node from Trabia but didn't get a lot of bandwidth so had to drop it.
Seems most of the tabs get redirected to @colocrossing.
Trabia?
I've talked with Sven (owner) they don't tolerate any abuse because there is no way to stop it.
We'd like to bring newer locations then just the sea of OVH nodes, and we're already with most of the popular providers etc.
Oh okay, what about Leaseweb Netherlands? Their abuse system is pretty much automatic so as long as you reply you should be alright (they're listed on https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/GoodBadISPs too)
-edit- nevermind saw you said you've been with most of the popular providers so I'm sure you have tried them already then
Thank you for this. If you find a good deal from Leaseweb let us know. We've personally been in contact with them, and they've given us the "green light" on all of their locations. Correctly we've only got their German location up. But if they have some good deals we'll get another local from them.
Thanks,
@sin leaseweb will kick anyone when some serious abuse will come and traffic is expensive.
Well there seem to be a lot of Leaseweb tor nodes and they're on the list of tor friendly hosts. I agree with you about the traffic though.
Pop open ipinfo.io in Tor browser, repeatedly hit 'New Tor circuit for this site' - will give you a ton of friendly ASNs. I think anyone who sells bandwidth for pennies is already being used and on the Good/Bad ISPs list.
I'm seeing a lot more single subnet ASNs being used. People who own, or lease, IPv4 space setting up a new ASN and getting their IPs announced with a cheap bandwidth provider. They deal directly with the abuse reports and if they get booted they just move it and announce elsewhere.
Virtwire allowed this on some of their plans when they were around. I don't remember which DC's they were in. I'd expect the DC would have to deal with at least some of the heat, and that would be an obstacle in itself.
Hetzner hosts a lot of for exit nodes, give them a try.
Depends if they had their own ASN or we're using the DC's network exclusively.
Are the exit nodes used for criminal activities
xsltel or ecatel are pretty solid when it comes to abuse notices. Either one of them would gladly run your tor node. xsltel will run anything even if its blatantly illegal as long as you pay them enough..
Why not just get a 2 or 3 good fiber/dsl lines in at home and run them there?
@beardlyness: I do recommend balkanvps.com located in Prishtina/Republic of Kosovo in the first place for that purpose.
We use one of their servers for our VPN service. They've got a friendly and competent support and their IPs seem to be perfectly suitable for a Tor Exit: https://www.spamhaus.org/sbl/query/SBL257361
Another host I can recommend is LcSNet.ro located in Timișoara/Romania.
Their support is also very good.
At the moment their upstreams are a bit weak (you will only get a VPS with 100 Mbps shared there), but they gonna add a new upstream provider next year.
They are much cheaper and and have a more liberaly abuse handling than Voxiliy.
datawire.ch in Zug/Switzerland (not to be mixed up with datasource.ch), ip-connect.vn.ua in Vinnytsia/Ukraine and servetheworld.net in Oslo/Norway are worth to take a closer look at, too.
I wouldn't recomment Trabia or ntx.ru (former 2x4/MediaServicePlus LLC), because of their strict abuse policy. 2x4.ru/MediaServicePlus used to be a good host for VPN services in the past, but due to legislation changes in Russia that changed.
All services I mentioned except ServeTheWorld accept BTC for payment. At ServeTheWorld you can pay with Credit Card or PayPal.
Why everyone in US hate Tor exit? just like a NK behind
Have you seen this page from the Tor Project?
https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/GoodBadISPs
Don't put new exit nodes in FR/DE/NL/US as these locations are already over-represented.
https://compass.torproject.org/#/by_country?exit_filter=all_relays&links&sort=cw&sort_reverse&country=&by_country&top=30&exits_only
That page is useless. There's no way it can stay current with the multitude of ISP and their changing policies. Look at the dates on some of those entries.
Idk if its different in other countries but here in germany you will get raided sooner or later for running an exit node
GEMA never sleep
In case you properly react on abuse reports generated by your tor exit they will not touch you. Their abuse team is aware of TOR network.
You can get dual core server with 100TB bandwidth from LeaseWeb for ~50 EUR. It will be capable for 300mbit/s in/out tor exit node without any issues.
