Hi John.

I think this depends on the distribution used.
Of course you can use own distributions and images.
I used the standard ubuntu which was suggested from Azure and did nothing than installing TOR (apt-get install tor), modifing the torrc-file and configured the port-forwarding.
Thats all.

Volker,

Thank you for sharing!

Is Azure able to run the latest Tor release of 0.2.8.8?  You're running 0.2.4.27 at this time.  

Thanks!

John

Hi.

I read some pages on the internet about TOR-servers on cloud-services like Microsoft Azure or Amazon AWS.

Just gave it a try on Azure and it works like a charm!

You can sign up for free and receive credits worth ~200$. With this credits you can safely run an unlimited VPS for about 4-5 month.
