Re: [tor-relays] switching between exit and guard



I have turned off all exits after worried ISP was forwarding too many abuse notices.  This is pending a solution which, if possible would send all exiting port data off to a local anonymous proxy or VPN server. 

Anonymous proxies and VPN servers seem more impervious or tolerant to abuse notices than the ISPs. 

A mod I would like to see is to have a facility to send the all the data on ports that are set to exit off to an external anonymous proxy server; https and/or socks.   Currently the httpproxy command in torrc does not do that. 

I have tried to get my VPS, which has a second IP, to connect to a VPN server on that second IP for Tor to use for exit.  This is beyond my networking skills and attempts cuts off the branch I am sitting on, with mucked up routing for everything.

Anonymous VPNs and http proxies I have used are very cheap with no data caps and very fast.

I do not think they will kick you or change policy now, I am just out of luck with one of my exit nodes. Lots and lots of script kiddies trying to hack banks and other websites over my exit node ... I have no clue why one exit node attract them and others dont ... bad luck perhaps ...
