I have been running a reduced exit policy, a slight variation on the mentioned approach here. [1]

Up until this week I've had no major issues, apart from one notice from the ISP, which was dealt with reasonably effectively.

My issue my is keeping the exit node online.

To answer the OP: how can we tell "malicious users" from "valid users". I understand your POV, but surely we can't discriminate? Or can we?

Bernard
