This is something I raised a few months ago. I found that an reinstall of
an old relay defaulted to exit, I only noticed after a few days... since
the relay was on a residential address I immediately reconfigured it.
I would assume that the majority of users who run relays on vps in the
cloud will

Agreed. I'll add my voice to those voting in favour of the default

That's on the right track.

Hello all,
I've set up a tor exit relay (0.2.4.17-rc, debian testing) on a VPS, and
it's running well (about 20Gbs/day).
But a lot of traffic (about 50%!) is using port 9050 for incoming
connections. It's something more than random scans.
Because I am worried, I've run tcpdump on this port and t

If your torrc literally reads "SocksPort = 0" (no quotes) then the config
parser will ignore this and fall back to the default internal setting which is
port 9050 wide open.
Your torrc needs to read "SocksPort 0" (no quotes) to disable SOCKS
connectivity.

My main concern, and the reason I asked about blocking specific traffic
(ip's from blacklisted p2p sites), is mainly due to the problem the
original poster faces with DMCA; abuse complaints and the possibility of
being shutdown. No one wants to volunteer a service and then face legal
issues. Who in
