Re: High bandwidth usage on residential generates letter

Exit relay is the default configuration for TOR, its pointless to shuffle traffic between TOR proxies. Yes it can be set to relay, whats the point of that?

I've been running a Tor non-exit relay on my home PC for a while

Point is it makes your scolding irrelevant. And I don't think a normal install of Tor defaults to being an exit relay, but it's been a long time since I used it.

"Note that public relays default to being exit relays"

MVM,

Thanks, like I said, it's been awhile since I used it so I can't remember how I configured it. Seems silly to default to that when they make it very clear you shouldn't be running an exit relay on most connections. But the whole discussion is moot as the OP is running a non-exit relay.

So he's only breaking the Verizon TOS in two ways (providing services to others through your connection and excessive bandwidth), not three ways (copyright infringement)

That would be the "O" part in TOR.
