Is there any way to run a Tor exit node without expecting to get a knock on the door from the FBI/DHS? Like advertising as an exit node but only to a whitelist of sites? For ~20 years I ran a dozen cabinet at a colo but never felt I could donate bandwidth to Tor because of that (did a big mirror server instead), and now I have gigabit (could be 10gig) at home, but still just don't want to deal with the issues.

Not to my knowledge.

You can host torrents to Linux isos to help. You’ll need to block some Chinese ASNs though. They use fake downloaders to detect peers. Like 99% of the traffic my node generated was that. Nodes from one ASN that do partial downloads over and over

Else hosting open map data tile server though I gather this can generate a lot of traffic
