: I have another question about this FAQ, what does 'Tor server' here 
: mean? Must this Tor server be an exit node?

	Yes, this server must be an exit node.  

: In a more specific scenario, for example, if the Tor server exits only 
: at port 443, but people browse the website on the same IP at port 80 
: using Tor, will their circuit exit from this Tor server?

	No.  The exit policy is honored. If example.com is a tor exit
	server, but it doesn't allow port 80 to exit, you will not
	extend a circuit through tor to get to example.com:80. 
	The traffic will go through another exit server that allows port 80.
