if you want to run a bridge, Ionos is your new best friend, shitty VPS für 1 Euro a month. It is shit but runs a bridge perfectly.

Hi List,
So for a little bit over a week now, I have been running a bridge on Google Cloud and it has charged less then $5. So, while too expensive for running relays, it seems to be an ok service for running bridges on.
I think we need as much diversity as possible so having nodes running on as many different providers as possible is good.
Cheers.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks a US cloud is the worst case for a Tor relay. Most likely daily VM snapshots directly to NSA. ;-)

yeah hosting in Germany is much better. With the new laws in place the BND is happy to deliver all Tor traffic from Frankfurt to the NSA.

Is $0.085/GB (egress) accurate[0]? Meaning you sent ~60 GB of traffic?
That sounds really really expensive, even for a bridge. As soon as your bridge saw more meaningful usage, I would expect you to need to take it down.
Or maybe your pockets are deeper than mine ;)

For the last 3 days its been 50 cents, whereas usually vps are $20 per month at least. I am wondering whats the minimal amount of traffic a bridge should push to be useful? I am thinking of limiting the tor bridge traffic per month. Thanks. --Keifer
