: I have Verizon DSL 3Mbps/768Kbps that I want to run a Tor middle-node server on. However Verizon's TOS prohibit any kind of servers. Do ISPs really care about whether people run servers on residential accounts and do they scan ports? If so, how often? Will they be able to decrypt the data from a middle node? Is it worth also running a public web\ftp server (on a different port than 80\21)? If they find out, will it be a warning letter or termination?

Officially, yes they care.  In reality, they only care when there is a
problem.  If you run a server and never do anything to cause attention
to your circuit, chances are they won't care.

can be found at
