I used to run a Tor exit node. I'm glad I stopped. I was banned from
editing on Wikipedia (took months to get resolved. I had to be
unbanned by a server admin at Wikipedia headquarters) and commenting
on Slashdot, and I was disallowed from using DNSTools. Any service
that bans "open proxies" bans tor exit nodes, no matter what ports
they allow to be tunneled through (IRC servers are especially
vicious). Plus, you have the trouble of explaining strange activity
to your ISP (I never had to, thankfully). Really, it's more trouble
than it's worth.
On the other hand, I got a free, green shirt for it. So it's not all
bad.
