I'm running the smallest droplet of 20GB, 512MB of RAM, and 1 TB of bandwidth.

From Pay-As-You-Grow Pricing:Q: Do you charge for bandwidth?A: Yes. Plans start with 1TB per month and increase incrementally. Once the monthly transfer limit has been exceeded it is $0.02 per GB thereafter. Only outbound transfer is counted.

The droplet I created helps with the overall Tor network bandwidth. That's a relay I have, not an exit node (which ends up on the website as the ip address).
Read up on it:
Tor (anonymity network - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)
Personally I don't use Tor much at all, I've explored it out of curiosity much like I tested out running this relay.
I actually installed OpenVPN on a droplet with digital ocean so I'll log into it with a client if I'm ever at the mall from now on. I've had my CC info compromised once for being careless. Just $5 a month (:
It's the geek alternative to Hidemyass or another commercial VPN service.
