Hello, you will encounter this, Guard node, middle node, or exit node.
If a website operator is going to blacklist all relays, then you will not be able to connect to their site, simple as. Also, we need any kind of clean node - especially exit nodes, but also any type of other good (high uptime and throughput) as well as clean (i.e. not government or surveillance agency controlled nodes). You can message the websites administrator and tell him to use the Tor Exit block-list only - this makes much more sense than blocking traffic from nodes that do not allow exiting. However, good luck convincing any major website (especially banks) to do this. You should ideally get a dedicated server or encrypted VM in a datacenter that is not crowded with Tor nodes already. I recommended "Wedos.cz" a while ago, zero trouble with Guards, middles and bridges, and it's only 6€ a month for a truly unlimited (but 1:3 shared) 100 MbE port. They also support ordering through Tor Browser and payment using cryptocurrency, I posted about them a while ago when someone claimed they stopped supporting Tor hosting or ordering through Tor exit nodes. I will forward the e-mail to you.
