<div class='comment_content'><p></p><p>I really wonder that. I support tor. I've never actually used it because I don't have much to hide, but I understand that other do. So I ran a tor relay (not exit) as my way of supporting the project for a while; from my home adsl. After a while I noticed some weird stuff going on. Some websites (important ones) wouldn't load properly. Emails sent would bounce or simply never reach their destination. After looking at the problem I found that my IP was on some minor blacklists. I stopped the relay and after 2 days I was off the blacklists. Hence my question, if running a simple relay gets you blacklisted, what does running an exit point does to your other internet usage from that IP ? Who can afford separate IPs besides institutions ? So who is really really running them ? Certainly not private citizens...</p></div>

It's not like it's done deliberately - you don't have to seek out new Tor exit nodes. They just make themselves known.</p><p>I'd even venture to say if you want to allow Tor traffic, you have to whitelist them specifically It's not that Tor is bad, it's just that it's got a bunch of bad actors that really do ruin it for those who need it.</p></div>

There is no way my host was causing issues for their site, with the 20 KB/s of bandwidth I allowed. Additionally, I only allowed ports like IRC, DN</p></div>
