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.

For anyone wondering how else they can help without attracting scrutiny, consider running a bridge. I have done this at home for years and haven't noticed any ill effects like discrimination of my public IPs: https://community.torproject.org/relay/setup/bridge/

Or, if you're OK with a little discrimination (say you're colo hosted, not residential), but still want to avoid exit-relay-level attention, running guard/middle relays is helpful: https://community.torproject.org/relay/types-of-relays/
