I ran tor exit nodes on Linode and Digitalocean for years. No real issues, but you will get regular abuse complaints.

The support teams always understood once I explained it was a tor exit node. I co-operated with the Cloud provider and added any IP-address that requested it to my list of exempt addresses.

But they don't have to. It could also be against their ToS, and many other providers would not have been ok with it. Accounts and domains have been taken away for much less.


Not to mention, armed police raiding your home, especially if you live in Germany.


Right, which is why it's informative to hear a report that DO and linode did!


So read the ToS and ask support beforehand?
