Who allows exit relays on dedicated servers, who bans them and who says nothing, in each host's own words, read on 30 October 2026. With the Tor Project's community list for comparison.
Quick answer
Which hosting providers allow Tor exit nodes?
Few hosting providers allow Tor exit nodes on dedicated servers in writing. In Ironatoll's check of 30 October 2026, AliasVPS, Anubiz Host, PrivateAlps and SwissLayer allowed them, and FlokiNET did after a support ticket. Ironatoll allows exit relays too, on every plan and in every location, from $63.68 per 30 days, paid in crypto with no KYC.
| Allow exits in writing | AliasVPS, Anubiz Host, PrivateAlps, SwissLayer |
|---|---|
| Allow exits after a ticket | FlokiNET, with the reduced exit policy and a notice page on port 80 |
| Relays only on listed plans | Privex: exits only on custom servers in Sweden, with permission |
| Ban exits | AbeloHost, AlexHost, BlueAngelHost, CryptoVPS.host, Shinjiru, Zergrush, Zomro |
| Publish no rule | Most others, including Hetzner, OVHcloud, Leaseweb, Cherry Servers, KoDDoS and NiceVPS |
| Ironatoll | Tor exit relays may run on our servers, and so may middle relays and bridges |
| Ironatoll: port 25 | Port 25 (SMTP) is blocked for outgoing traffic on every server as an anti-spam measure, and the block is permanent. Outgoing connections to mail providers on ports 465 and 587 work normally |
| Ironatoll: price | Atoll 16 $63.68, Atoll 32 $72.15, Atoll 64 $72.62, Atoll 128 $205.27, Atoll 256 $406.37 per 30 days |
According to Ironatoll's check of 30 October 2026, 4 of 34 dedicated-server hosts allow Tor exit relays in writing. FlokiNET also allows them once support has been told. Only rules on a host's own pages count here: terms, acceptable use policy, FAQ or knowledge base.
The table adds what an exit operator weighs next: the coins accepted, the cheapest current plan and its traffic.
| Host | Tor exits | What the host's own page says | Monero | Cheapest plan meeting our rules (monthly) | Locations |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|

| AliasVPS (ex-BitVPS) | Allowed | AUP: Tor relays, exits included, are "explicitly welcome"; exit operators declare the node by PGP first | ✓ | $39.50, unmetered at 1 Gbit/s: listed far below every other host; delivery not verified | IS, NL, RO, CH |
| SwissLayer | Allowed | FAQ answers YES to hosting Tor exit nodes | — | $430.00, 100 TB at 10 Gbit/s | CH |

Prices checked on
Read on each host's pages on 30 October 2026. "Our rules": a CPU from 2018 or later, one IPv4, a 1 Gbit/s port, 10 TB or more, payable monthly. Setup fees spread over 12 months; 1 EUR = 1.1172 USD (ECB, 30 October 2026). "—" = not stated.
A written ban is the clearest answer a host can give, and these hosts give it. Some ban only exits; others ban every relay or every proxy.
| Host | What the rule says | Where |
|---|---|---|
| AbeloHost | Its forbidden list includes "TOR nodes or services" | Acceptable use policy |
| AlexHost | "TOR Exit Relays" are on its list of prohibited acts | Acceptable usage policy, 1.4 |
| BlueAngelHost | Operating Tor exit nodes is "strictly prohibited" | Terms |
| CryptoVPS.host | Tor exit nodes are not allowed on its Hetzner servers | Acceptable use policy |
| Shinjiru | Tor hosts are prohibited, citing blacklisting of nearby IPs | Acceptable use policy, section 8 |
| Zergrush | Bans "proxy server or other traffic relaying programs"; no Tor clause | Terms of service |
| Zomro | Bans public proxies and "TOR exit nodes" | Public offer, 5.20 |
Neither states a Tor rule on the pages read on 30 October 2026. Hetzner's dedicated server agreement bans mining, scanning of foreign networks, MAC changes and fake source IPs, and says nothing about Tor. OVHcloud, Leaseweb, Cherry Servers, KoDDoS, NiceVPS, MonoVM, 1Gbits, Bacloud and Servers.Guru publish no Tor rule either.
Silence is not permission: a host that publishes no Tor rule can still close an exit through its abuse process. A 2019 post on the Tor Project's tor-relays mailing list reports that Cherry Servers ended an operator's account because it no longer wished to host exits. Before you run an exit at a silent host, ask support in writing and keep the reply.
The Tor Project's Good Bad ISPs page is a community list of operators' experiences, sorted by country. Ironatoll read it on 30 October 2026; its consensus-weight figures were dated 20 October 2026. Each provider row has its own date, and many are years old. The page itself tells operators to check each host's terms and AUP first, because they change.
It also lists hosts to avoid for network diversity, because they already carry many Tor relays. Hetzner and OVHcloud are on that list, with BuyVM, Scaleway, IONOS, netcup and 1337 Services.
| Row on the list | Exits, per the list | Row dated | Host's own pages, 30 October 2026 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hetzner (Germany) | Yes | September 2021; on the avoid list | No Tor rule |
| OVH Kimsufi (France), OVHcloud (US) | No | September 2021; on the avoid list | No Tor rule |
| FlokiNET (Iceland) | Yes | Undated | Allowed after a ticket |
| Privex (Sweden / Finland, Germany) | Yes / No | June 2022 | Exits only in Sweden, on request |
| AlexHost (Moldova) | No | April 2023 | Banned in its AUP |
| KoDDoS (Netherlands) | Yes | 2017 | No Tor rule |
| NiceVPS (Netherlands, Switzerland) | Yes | 2021 | No Tor rule |
| LeaseWeb (Netherlands) | Yes | Undated | No Tor rule; ID required |
Good Bad ISPs is maintained by the relay community and edited through the Tor Project's GitLab; it is not a host's commitment.
Because complaints about Tor traffic name the exit's IP address, and the host owns that address. An exit carries other people's connections to the open internet. Abuse reports, blocklist entries and copyright notices all land on the operator's IP, then on the host's abuse desk.
A host that allows exits accepts that workload in advance. Ironatoll does so through its jurisdiction: DMCA ignored: no DMCA notice, and no other foreign copyright notice, leads to any action on our side. Panamanian law and the orders of Panamanian courts are the only authority we answer to. Outgoing port 25 is closed on every server, so an exit cannot reach mail servers on that port. How Ironatoll handles the rest is set out in how to run a Tor exit relay on a dedicated server.

Yes. FlokiNET (Romania, Iceland, the Netherlands, Finland), SwissLayer and PrivateAlps (Switzerland) and AliasVPS allow exits on dedicated servers. Ironatoll allows them in Amsterdam (Netherlands), Reykjavik (Iceland), Zurich (Switzerland) and Bucharest (Romania); each plan is sold in each city at one price.
Hetzner's own pages state no Tor rule. The Tor Project's community list marks exits as possible there, in a row dated September 2021, but asks operators to avoid Hetzner for network diversity.
At FlokiNET you must open a ticket first, and AliasVPS asks exit operators to declare the node by PGP. At Ironatoll no notice is needed: Tor exit relays may run on our servers, and so may middle relays and bridges.
AliasVPS, Anubiz Host, PrivateAlps and FlokiNET do, per their pages on 30 October 2026. So does Ironatoll, which takes BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC, XMR and allows exits on every plan.
Yes. Ironatoll asks for no ID: No KYC: no ID, selfie, documents, card or phone number are ever collected. AliasVPS, Anubiz Host, PrivateAlps, SwissLayer and FlokiNET also set no ID step at signup.
Run your Tor exit on a whole machine
Exits, middle relays and bridges are allowed on every plan. A person on our team gets your server ready once your payment is confirmed, usually a few minutes later and never more than one hour after the confirmation; your dashboard shows the status, then the IP address once the server is ready.
