I see, I understand, thanks!

I run a VPN service that uses the transparent proxy and DNSPort in the
same server with the exit node. I also use the SOCKSPort to run my
scraper app.

Side note: The amount of the traffic from the VPN and SOCKS is fairly
small, it shouldn't affect my exit node.

Current usage:

   - A single small scrapper app (SOCKSPort).

     I configure many ports to get many exit IP addresses for
     randomizing my identity.

   - TeaVPN2 service (TransPort and DNSPort).

     I am writing a VPN software (Linux). It uses the transparent
     proxy and DNS port only for accessing "*.onion" host. Only
     3 people using it so far, rarely used too.

Is it fine doing that?

I can deploy a dedicated Tor instance for my VPN and scraper app if
it is really needed.
