There's no reason Tor exit nodes need to access my home network. Zero. I do use BitTorrent but behind a VPN; this remains unaffected, though if it were I would block traffic which isn't supposed to go through Tor (since BitTorrent over Tor is not recommended).

As a rule of thumb, I will gladly pass on Tor traffic, but no exit node, and I understand if network admins want to block entry node, too. It is a decision everyone who maintains a network has to make themselves.

The reason I block it is also the same reason I block banana republics like CN and RU: these don't prosecute people who break the law with regards to hacking. Why should one accept unrestricted traffic from these?

In the end, the open internet was once a TAZ [1] and unfortunately with the commercialization of the internet together with massive changes in geopolitics the ship sailed.

You don't have to help commercialize it.

Blocking Tor on a home network does that? Gee, I didn't know.
