Does using Tor make you an exit node?
When you download the Tor Browser it acts purely as a client. Your software won't run as an exit node or a relay unless you tell it otherwise. So by downloading the Tor Browser from https://torproject.org/ and running the software you're safe from turning into a server.
Does Tor work with IPv6?
Tor has partial support for IPv6 and we encourage every relay operator to enable IPv6 functionality in their torrc configuration files when IPv6 connectivity is available. For the time being Tor will require IPv4 addresses on relays, you can not run a Tor relay on a host with IPv6 addresses only.
How many exit nodes does Tor have?
This is now graphed by the Torproject at https://metrics.torproject.org/relayflags.html (826 exit nodes today).
What is a Tor exit node?
Tor exit nodes: A Tor exit node is the last Tor node that traffic passes through in the Tor network before exiting onto the internet. Tor guard nodes: A Tor guard node is the point of entry into the Tor network.
