VPS from $4.80* — Core on the annual term (list $6/mo), one invoice for 12 months, no auto-charges. Dedicated with IPMI from $39.20/mo. Crypto invoice, no KYC.
Launch nowPolicy first: relays and bridges are allowed
The AUP says it in one line: Tor relays and bridges are permitted workloads; exit nodes run by ticket with a published abuse contact. That makes the ordering decision boring in the good way — a bridge runs on Core, $6 list, $4.80/mo annual-eff, a contributing middle on Prime ($12 / $9.60) or Titan ($24 / $19.20), and the invoice settles in nineteen coins with token signup. Connection metadata is kept at most 24 hours — no traffic logs — which is the policy a relay operator actually cares about.
Setup follows the Tor Project's own relay guide (community.torproject.org): install tor, set ContactInfo, let the relay bootstrap. Nothing exotic in the network path — full root on KVM, raw sockets included.
Sizing the role
| Role | Tier | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Bridge (obfs4) | Core $4.80 | tiny footprint, low bandwidth |
| Middle relay | Prime $9.60 / Titan $19.20 | bandwidth is the whole job |
| Exit node | by ticket — see the exit page | abuse mailbox + bigger pipe |
Flags: Reykjavik is the classic relay home — no mandatory retention, geothermal power, +20% — while Amsterdam buys base-price peering. Both have dedicated playbook pages: Tor relay in Iceland and Tor relay in the Netherlands.
What a relay operator should still expect
Middles and bridges generate little mail; the AUP's abuse clauses still apply to anything else the box runs, and a neglected relay sharing a plate with a spammer is a ticket you answer, not an edge case. Unmetered ports mean bandwidth is not billed, but Tor metrics measure what you actually contribute — a Core-tier bridge helps, a Titan middle helps more.
Payment note: XMR is the quiet rail for relay invoices (10 confirmations, ~20 minutes), BTC credits after 2 blocks. The wider how-to — config hardening, MyFamily, uptime — lives in the Tor exit relay guide, which covers relay-grade hygiene too.
Core bridge — $4.80/mo annual-eff, unmetered 1 Gbps.
Open checkoutRelay configuration notes worth copying
Three torrc lines separate a good relay citizen from a ticket magnet: ORPort and DirPort set deliberately, ContactInfo pointing at a mailbox you actually read, and MyFamily listing every relay you operate so the network does not correlate them. AccountingMax keeps bandwidth inside a budget if you share the box with other work; the unmetered port means the host will never bill you for the traffic either way.
Config-level detail and version pins live in the Tor Project's relay guide — this page stays on policy; the opsec guide covers the identity separation around it.
Payment and posture for relay operators
XMR is the natural rail for a relay invoice — the payment path and the project's posture point the same direction — but BTC at 2 blocks and USDT-TRC20 at cents work identically. Flags: Reykjavik for no-retention, Amsterdam for base-price peering; both have a dedicated playbook under solutions.
The honest frame for what the host can and cannot see sits in how anonymous VPSbit is; the broader no-ID account layer is the no-KYC hub.

Are Tor relays allowed on this host?
Yes — relays and bridges are permitted workloads under the AUP; exit nodes are allowed by ticket with a published abuse contact, and the policy is the same in every flag.
Which tier fits a Tor bridge or middle relay?
A bridge runs comfortably on Core at $4.80/mo annual-eff; a contributing middle wants Prime or Titan because bandwidth is the entire job.
Do I need to identify myself to run a relay?
No — signup is a 32-character token or an email, and the invoice takes nineteen coins; the relay's ContactInfo is your public face, set by you in torrc.
Which location is best for a Tor relay?
Reykjavik for the no-retention flag at +20%, Amsterdam for base-price peering; both have a dedicated playbook page under solutions.
Does the host log relay traffic?
No traffic logs — connection metadata is kept at most 24 hours for abuse response; relay traffic itself transits unmetered at the port speed of your tier.
