What's the goal? To have a private exit that only you can use?

There is this very interesting paper and project called HebTor:
https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3372297.3417245


This paper introduces HebTor, a new and robust architecture for exit
bridges---short-lived proxies that serve as alternative egress points
for Tor. A key insight of HebTor is that exit bridges can operate as Tor
onion services, allowing any device that can create outbound TCP
connections to serve as an exit bridge, regardless of the presence of
NATs and/or firewalls. HebTor employs a micropayment system that
compensates exit bridge operators for their services, and a
privacy-preserving reputation scheme that prevents freeloading. We show
that HebTor effectively thwarts server-side blocking of Tor, and we
describe the security, privacy, and legal implications of our design.


If you're interested on playing with it -- for educational purposes only
--, I can share some instructions in private.
