My Tor node stats are linked from my website's sidebar.

Basically it's completely open except for basic security and some
sites that blacklist me if I don't.

Can't speak to that thread.

I've talked to them more than once about running servers and
specifically Tor, and they were always completely friendly about it.
You're capped at whatever you're paying for; so long as you don't
actively fuck with their servers or other customers, they don't care.

Of course if it's not you who attacks their network, but someone
you're proxying, that still counts. But in something like five years
on and off being an active Tor node, I've never had any reprecussions
whatsoever other than the silly, toothless, completely unprovable DMCA
demands... which were flatly rejected by Sonic. I can forward you the
email threads about it if you like.
