Folk fearful of the Tor Project should also be reminded that entry-nodes
and middle-nodes only route Tor traffic to other Tor nodes, by design.
Only exit-nodes (a.k.a exit relays) route traffic originating within the
Tor network out into the wider Internet.

Additionally, exit-nodes are not evil in nature, and many of them limit
outgoing traffic to the mandatory ports 80 and 443. Unsurprisingly,
there are some black sheep who abuse the Tor network, but there are also
other people openly causing chaos in our world. Those pose a *much*
greater threat, especially these days.

TL;DR: If one's ISP blocks hosts simply because they are affiliated with
the Tor network, I recommend switching ISPs. Be wary of FUD mongers.
