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.

Is what you call a "proxy service" actually a proxy service, or is it a VPN service?

Your exit accepts more than just http[s], so I doubt it's the former.

There must be a disadvantage is running an exit node this way, but not sure what it is.

It is not "exonerated". At least not without you using some form of independant notary service.
