There's different types of relay, including exit relays, which are the legally problematic type. Middle, guard, and bridge relays don't face the same issues with law enforcement and IP blocking.
Thanks for the correction. It's a shame that sysadmins balcklist middle nodes too, since they won't see any TOR traffic originating from your IP address anyway.
Really? That's so odd, I thought as long as you're not running an exit node, you should be fine. TIL, I'll have to check my ISP's policies before setting one up then.
Exit relays are totally fine from a legal perspective. They key is making sure the ISP and local police are aware so they don't come after you. ISPs have sent DMCA letters and such to operators when in reality they can't and shouldn't control the traffic coming out of Tor. The good news is that Tor has templates to respond.
Best practice is to let bigger organizations run exit relays so that there is the oversight from leadership.
