I am not a lawyer and the situation may vary depending on where you live
and/or which country you are a citizen of, but:
* the EFF discourages running an exit relay from home[1]
* what you probably want to do - assuming it is feasible - is setting up
some kind of company or organization for running those relays (either
alone of with other node operators)
