* teor:
If a client doesn't have a circuit to an exit that supports the port it wants, it randomly chooses an exit that allows that port.
Sure, but is the distinction of what is considered "an exit" reflected in the exit flag? And is it truly random, or does the consensus weight factor into it, the latter being what I thought to be the case?
My point is that a Tor node not flagged as an exit is pretty much useless for that role, and removing all exit rules is appropriate in my opinion.
