Re: [tor-relays] VPS w/FDE suggestions?

Don't know what FDE is, but at Frantech/BuyVM you can install everything
because you can upload your own ISO.

SirNeo made a good list:

Also:

Read first:

AS/location diversity

Try to avoid the following hosters:
OVH SAS (AS16276)
Online S.a.s. (AS12876)
Hetzner Online GmbH (AS24940)
DigitalOcean, LLC (AS14061)

Hello- Im looking for <= $6/mo VPS suggestions for general non-tor
server and also for tor. Some super-cheap hosts pre-install O/S and give
root but I want to install O/S myself so can put in FDE. Hard to see
which hosts can do this.

FDE means Full Disk Encryption.

Remember, running FDE in virtual environment we give access to encryption keys to admin of the host machine :slight_smile:

Any admin can make a full backup of a 24/7/365 running KVM or cloud machine.
Regardless of whether it is encrypted or not. :wink:

Also with dedicated servers or in colocation:
Encrypting a Tor relay hd, especially exits, is NOT recommended!
In the event of a seizure, it could take months or years to get your server back.

We don't host files, we don't have logs. A Tor relay is a dumb router that forwards
encrypted traffic. Other than the master identity key's, there is nothing
interesting on a Tor relay. Therefore, use offline relay identity keys:
