Just for the record, this is exactly why I don't recommend it from my exerience. I lost access to my bank's website (plus some other sites) for a while because I did this. It's must less risky running a non-exit than running an exit, but there may be unintended side effects that make the experience less fun overall for the operator. _______________________________________________ tor-relays mailing list tor-relays@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-relays
