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.

Tor provides a great blog about running an exit node: https://blog.torproject.org/tips-running-exit-node/

I remember reading that it’s better to register as an organization if you want to run an exit node.

If you want to help the network, you can run relays. That’s much safer. https://community.torproject.org/relay/
