You can run an exit node that only allows port 80 and 443 traffic. A lot safer and a lot less bandwidth usage. I ran a server for a couple of years and not once got a complaint.


The Reduced Exit Policy goes in that direction: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/ReducedExi...

It's basically a documented exit policy (i.e. the configuration stating which outbound traffic you accept to carry) that aims to minimize the potential for abuse while still allowing useful things.
