I would like to be an exit for port 8333 only. I have configured my relay to do this, but I am not being listed with the relay flag and do not see any traffic exiting my node (at least not using arm). I saw an FAQ that says this is because you have to exit web traffic to get marked as an exit. I do not wish to do this.
Is there any way to exit just one port?
I just enabled some exit ports in my relay so I have this issue fresh in my mind. If I'm not mistaken, you need to open two of the ports 80, 443 and 6667 to gain the Exit flag, but not having that flag doesn't mean that you're not an exit (ie. I believe that FAQ to be wrong). Initially I didn't open two of that three ports but I saw outgoing connections to some of the accepted ports nevertheless, so I was being an exit node despite not having the flag. Try waiting some days to see if there's some traffic on port 8333. FWIW I check outgoing connections using netstat instead of arm :).
HTH,
