Received Tor-Targeted VPS Offer - MAXKO Hosting

Support Relay Operator
,
1

Hi all,

I received an email to the email I list in my relays contactinfo section, and it was from a company called MAXKO Hosting (Full Email Below) and thought it was just a bit odd.
Basically the email mentioned even a 10% Tor discount code for Tor relays and a lot of other stuff just selling why to choose them for Tor relays.

Now, I’m not jumping to any conclusions but whilst it looks like good targeted marketing it also is slightly odd and makes me lean in the direction of away from them given that they are specifically targeting Tor relay operators here and trying to get relays on their network (could lead to Timing attacks, traffic sniffing, whatever).

If anyone knows anything about this feel free to reply!

Stay safe,
privacyjam

Got one myself too. A couple days ago.

Peaked my interest until I saw the prices lol.

After looking into it more I’ve realized https://quetzalcoatl-relays.org/ uses them a lot for their exit relays. By searching the AS numbers provided it checks out. Additionally they are officially on Tor Project | Relay Associations … So I’d conclude with this that the provider is legit. Although still, with their prices I won’t be able to try them out for myself.
