Using tor is one thing for anonymizing yourself outwardly, but running
as a router is another. I'd not act as a router, or a proxy for anyone
from anywhere connection-wise with my name on it, or anyone that even
knows of me lest I ignite some penchant for lawful destruction of my
life. ISP's are bound to record this for legal purposes, if they're at
all interested in continued existence.
Your mac address binding to a given dhcp IP address, bound to a given
modem serial/mac, provisioned to your account, bound to your house, and
payment info means that's where they go first when that IP does
something naughty and someone tells, and this info is often kept
indefinitely.
That can be running a tor router, leaving your wifi unprotected, or
someone stealing an unlocked cell phone with data.
