An exit node is like a relay node but with a connection out to the Internet. Exit nodes are run by sudo mesh and have the sudo mesh organization listed as the whois abuse complaint contact. This ensures that legal inquires for Internet-bound traffic from the mesh are sent to sudo mesh so node-operators don't have to deal with e.g. DMCA complaints and other legal issues unless absolutely necessary. We encourage anyone and everyone to run relay nodes, but we do not expect anyone else to run public exit nodes. If you're still interested in running an exit node, come talk to us!

Exit nodes do everything relay nodes do and adds the following:

NATed internet access
DNS server
Fake captive portal

This guide builds on top of the relay node guide, so follow that first and them come back here!
