# Good Bad ISPs

**[Hacker News](https://daily.dev/sources/hn)** · 25 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

A community-maintained reference listing ISPs and hosting providers worldwide and their policies toward running Tor relays, bridges, and exit nodes. Organized by country, each entry includes the provider's ASN, whether bridges, relays, and exits are permitted, bandwidth details, abuse handling practices, and community recommendations. Certain providers like Hetzner, OVH, and Frantech are flagged as overrepresented in the Tor network and should be avoided for diversity reasons. The page also advises operators to always review current Terms of Service and Acceptable Use Policies before deploying any node type.
