Yeah, admins need to be careful about the queried source. The Tor
project publishes official data for all participating server nodes on
the Tor Metrics website [1] several times per day. There are also
fundamental differences between "guard", "middle" and "exit" type Tor
nodes. Only the latter type routes traffic from within the Tor network
to the outside world, hence the name "exit".

I have been donating bandwidth and computational resources to the Tor
project for many years now, but sadly the general level of awareness
about what Tor actully is and how it operates has not increased all that
much during that time.
