 Using the software Tortunnel
 http://www.thoughtcrime.org/software/tortunnel/
 it is easy to setup a 1-hop proxy through a selected exit node,
 even if the node has AllowSingleHopExits set to 0 (default).

 Maybe i'm being alarmist, but this seems like abuse waiting to happen -
 a disaster for exit node operators and for network capacity re:p2p.
 If this isnt fixable in a few days i'll be switching to non-exit.
