There are two opposite points of view as to what should be the default
setting for running a Relay: Either no exits should be allowed (a no-exit
Relay) or all the exits should be allowed.
Less than half of all Relays are exit Relays considerably diminishing
Tor's capabilities. So setting the default Relay configuration to no-exit
would be counter-productive to Tor's purpose. On the other hand,
permitting all exits does expose Relay operators to increased risk. It
appears then a compromise of setting the default Relay configuration to
exits for unsecure and secure websites would let Relay operators provide a
valuable and essential service while at the same time reducing the risk to
themselves.
