The risk of using port 443 is much lower than the risk of using port
80, because information passed through 443 port is normally encrypted
and authenticated.

How does the number of exits being affect the risk for users (given
only 443 port is used)? IIUC the more servers the better, because
harder to spy on a significant part of them.
