Isn't that dangerous? I'd be afraid of random showing ups of FBI at my door.

- hvidgaard 10y agoUnless running a TOR exit node is deemed illegal, you have an almost air tight argument if they show up at your door. They cannot prove you did it beyond reasonable doubt unless they find actual evidence on your machines.
- semicolon_storm 10y agoThey might not be able to convict you, but that won't stop them from breaking down your door and bringing you to jail from terrorism/hacking/child pornography while you get your name associated with it in the local news.
- johncolanduoni 10y agoIs it sufficient to give them cause to get a warrant and go over your machine (and possibly house) with a fine tooth comb? Because that could get old really fast.
- kobeya 10y agoWhile true, the reality is that they will seize your home computer equipment as evidence, and you'll have to fight tooth and nail to see it again. Tor exit node operators are heroes in my book.
- chrisper 10y agoBut that means there is somewhat a risk of them even showing up and taking all my stuff. I'll rather take ads over that for sure.
- mirimir 10y agoMore likely, websites will blacklist your IP address. Tor Project wants everyone to know all exit IPs. The general consensus on tor-relays seems to be against running relays, or at least exit relays, at home.
