I rented a VPS with 256mb ram and unmetered bandwidth. Ubuntu 12.04. Can someone please tell me how to configure it as a non-exit relay for Tor? Acess via PuTTy.
Cheers, Edward

Hi Eduard :
I have a VPS too with a tor relay node. I can send you my torrc in private if you are interested, but the conf is really easy.

Is there any utility in the very cheap VPSs with 128mb of ram?

Install Tor using option 2 in the link below: https://www.torproject.org/docs/debian.html.en
Make sure that your /etc/tor/torrc file contains only this ExitPolicy directive:
ExitPolicy reject *:* # no exits allowed
Restart tor (service tor restart)

256MB RAM and unmetered bandwidth is going to get you into trouble very quickly. That's not enough RAM.
If you're on a 10Mbps port and set your limits to about 5Mbps RelayBandwidthRate, you're going to need more than 256MB - probably more like 768MB and a cron job to restart Tor if it chews up all RAM and gets itself killed.
(Restarting Tor is something you want to avoid, BTW, but I understand the cost of RAM resources.)

I run tor perfectly happily on a VPS with 512MB of RAM. That node is on a Gig backbone, advertises 2.1 MB/s (2100 KB) and shovels data at anywhere between 24 and 32 Mbit/s all day every day for a monthly total of anywhere from 9.5 to 10.5 TiB per month.
See https://atlas.torproject.org/#details/C332113DF99E367E4190424CE825057D91337A...
last rebooted when I upgraded to Tor 0.2.4.17-rc about three weeks ago.
The limiting factor on a pi is not just memory. It is CPU.

Mick,
Is Serverstack.nl particularly pro-tor exit nodes? By the front page it would seem so.

Heh! I hadn't seen that before. (Though take a look at serverstack.com for a more, erm, normally corporate front page).
Honestly, I do not know serverstack's position. I rent that particular VPS from digitalocean, it just happens to be in Amsterdam on AS46652. digitalocean's own position appears to be supportive of non-exit relays only.
