#3The things I always wonder about TOR: Won't I look like someone else's computer? Is it possible for me to get in trouble for because someone else's traffic exits from my home network?
Re: A Tor of the Dark Web
#4A couple questions.
1. Are users of .onion services protected from the server just as well as the hidden service is protected?
2. What reassurances are there that tormail is not a honeypot?

The IP address seen by a server on the regular Internet that you contact through TOR is that of some exit node.

Not unless you run an exit node yourself. The standard TOR client software does not launch an exit node by default.

Yes, if you're set up to allow traffic to exit from your computer. It is possible to set it up so you only serve as one of the "internal" layers.

Only if you choose to be a Tor exit node. And you have to set that up explicitly.

You can chose whether or not to be an exit node, so nobody else's traffic will exit through your connection if you don't want it to.
If you do enable it, my presumption is that by demonstrating that you have tor running you can show that traffic from your connection is as likely to not be you as to be you - but I'm not sure if this is backed up by law, or has been tested in court.

1. In the sense the server does not know the user's IP address so far as I know, yes.
2. No idea.
