I've used to run a Tor exit with Hetzner a couple years ago, which
resulted in several tet-a-tetes with the local (Bavaria) police.

I don't think Hetzner will give a damn if you're running a middleman.
Especially if it's throttled, so you're not making them lose money
on you.

According to my last inquiry they won't log connection info (though
this might have changed, check for yourself).
