Hello list,

I was running a tor exit node until I came across this article:

http://calumog.wordpress.com/2009/03/18/why-you-need-balls-of-steel-to-operate-a-tor-exit-node/

While I don't live in the UK, I live in the US, I believe that the
situation here has eroded to a point where running an exit node requires
the mentioned balls of steel, which I admittedly don't have. Since I do
want to support the tor project, I am wondering to what extend running a
relay node is putting myself and my family at risk of legal prosecution.
My understanding is that my host would simply generated encrypted
traffic that is not objectionable to the ISP (because they can't look
into it) unless the use of tor itself is outlawed. Is that correct?

Thanks, nick
