I wanted to chime in.
I run an entry-middle relay in my basement connected to 300mbps fiber. It doesn’t push much traffic but it’s mine and I’m proud. The bank where I do my banking blocked our IP. After carefully explaining the situation to their IT team, they contacted their web host and had them whitelist my IP. It changed recently because I registered a new router on my ISP’s network, and they happily whitelisted that one too. My bank is a small town bank where everyone knows everyone, and I’m sure it would be much harder at some big corporate bank. Nonetheless, it’s always possible to make a change!
