Comment (by tomnux):
1889 nodes are advertising ORPort 443.
3646 nodes are advertising ORPort 9001.
So obviously the default config works. It seems that most relay operators
prefer to leave the defaults that are suggested.
What I am talking about is the very simplistic form of traffic
fingerprinting. When unusual ports are used they are more likely to be
flagged in the logs. In general, there is higher probability that ports
other than 80 and 443 are throttled or blocked.
Yet we are recommending port 9001 in the default config?
