Hrmm. You probably shouldn't be running an exit router on your home Internet connection, either. To my knowledge, no one has ever had their door kicked in in the USA for running an exit router, but there have been phone calls and visits. In other countries, people have had all of their computing equipment seized, and in rare cases, have had charges brought against them for copyrighted or other material found that was completely unrelated to Tor. It's best to keep your home connection running as middle or bridge only, unless you are fully prepared for the risks of increased attention to your home. Thus spake scar (scar@xxxxxxxxxx): > Dmca violations are treated seriously by Qwest and if they continue > you will lose your DSL service.
