I've recently become interested in running a Tor exit node and was curious what you guys think about it. It would be great to make a contribution to the Tor network, but I'm concerned about the additional attention it might draw. Is it a bad idea to run an exit node if you also purchase from the DNMs / have controlled substances in the same location as the exit node? If so, would it be a better idea to run an entry node, bridge, or relay node? Or should I just scrap this idea?
Yes.
Yes.
