 > Also, why would using one those nodes, which are listed as official exit
 nodes, block duckduckgo connections?  Are people who run exit nodes free
 to block any websites they want, even useful and innocuous ones like
 duckduckduckgo? Why?  Seems like you need to upgrade your terms of service
 (or whatever agreement they explicitly or implicitly adopt to run an exit
 node) to prevent these games.

 Yes they can exclude anything. just use DuckDuckGo HiddenService:
 https://3g2upl4pq6kufc4m.onion/ to bypass exitnode at all
