**Most hosting providers ban Tor exit relays outright. Echelon VPS explicitly permits them at four sites — Amsterdam, Reykjavík (Iceland), Chișinău (Moldova) and Bucharest (Romania) — on NVMe KVM servers from €1.90 a month, paid in Monero, Bitcoin, USDT and other coins, with an email address as the only sign-up requirement.** Middle relays and bridges are welcome at every one of its 42 sites. No KYC: an email address opens the account — no ID, selfie, phone or card.

## Where exits are allowed

| Site | Country | Tor exit nodes |
|---|---|---|
| **Amsterdam** | Netherlands | Permitted |
| **Reykjavík** | Iceland | Permitted |
| **Chișinău** | Moldova | Permitted |
| **Bucharest** | Romania | Permitted |
| All 38 other sites | — | Relays and bridges only |

Choose the exit site for the jurisdiction you are comfortable operating in. Relays and obfs4 bridges can run anywhere else in the network.

## Which plan for an exit relay

An exit's limits are bandwidth and CPU for crypto operations, not disk. Micro (2 vCPU, 4 GB, 4 TB) handles a modest exit; Base (4 vCPU, 8 GB, 8 TB) or Work (6 vCPU, 16 GB, 12 TB) suit busier ones.

| Plan | Resources | 12-month term (6-month) | Order |
|---|---|---|---|
| **Micro** | 2 vCPU · 4 GB DDR5 ECC · 50 GB NVMe · 4 TB | €3.10/mo — €37.20 per year (6 mo: €3.90/mo, €23.40) | [Configure Micro](https://echelonvps.com/en/configure) |
| **Base** | 4 vCPU · 8 GB DDR5 ECC · 100 GB NVMe · 8 TB | €5.50/mo — €66 per year (6 mo: €6.90/mo, €41.40) | [Configure Base](https://echelonvps.com/en/configure) |
| **Work** | 6 vCPU · 16 GB DDR5 ECC · 200 GB NVMe · 12 TB | €10.40/mo — €124.80 per year (6 mo: €12.90/mo, €77.40) | [Configure Work](https://echelonvps.com/en/configure) |

Terms are 6 or 12 months paid up front; nothing auto-charges and renewal invoices arrive by email.

## Good-citizen checklist for exit operators

- Set a clear reverse DNS name and a contact address in your torrc.
- Use a reduced exit policy (block SMTP port 25 and other abuse-prone ports).
- Publish a notice page on port 80 explaining the relay.
- Answer abuse mails within 24 hours — Echelon forwards complaints with evidence and gives customers that window to respond.
- Keep the operating system and Tor up to date.

## Why operators choose Echelon

- **No identity documents,** ever — order with an email, even an alias.
- **Order and manage over Tor.** The order flow and console work over Tor and VPNs.
- **Pay in Monero** (or BTC, ETH, LTC, TRX, USDT, USDC).
- **Legal process only from the server's own jurisdiction** — Echelon answers orders valid where the server physically sits.
- **72-hour refund** on the first payment.

## Accepted coins
