Typo. I would NOT have the courage to run tor from home....
I did worry about added latency. Ping tells me only 1-2ms added...the proxy must be close by. And speed still 70Mbs each way. I am afraid not offering TOR all that bandwidth as need my server for my day job.

I would have the courage to run a Tor Exit from home; home internet in London too poor to do that anyway, and do not have two IPs here. The likes of BBC ban you if your IP is listed as an exit node.
My VPS hosting company sent me various abuse notices once every two months, which I thought as quite a low rate for 10+Gb a day, but was still an embarrassment.
Once I set my outgoing connection via a UK and very fast and supposedly "anonymous" proxy server service, I have not heard a squeak
from anyone.
These proxy services are very cheap, no limits, and offer another level of difficulty for enquiring authorities.
There must be a disadvantage is running an exit node this way, but not sure what it is.
Additional latency, and giving the proxy service access to all your Exit's traffic.
