What kind of scans do you perform? I thought these scans do only check
for content manipulation? I dont see how to recognize if the traffic is
recorded?

I think if you run one of the fastest nodes, it is at least very odd not
to have a contact info. If you are concerned about your privacy, just go
on and create a freemail account somewhere.

Yeah, I'm not saying "this is evil!!!!", but want to bring it into
discussion, because I was unable to get any reasonable explanation for
this exitpolicy.

Of course these ports are popular, but 443 is popular as well? So for me
it looked like "pick all the popular _unencrypted_ ports".
