The tor-relays list might have operators who've done that before.... https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-relays They might also cover... - ISP might not like having it's multi-subscriber shared external IP added to blocklists (can happen with non exits too, ie: ability to surf or use paid services might get weird). - Warnings about [in]sanity of running exit relays from home.
