They're set up to be exit nodes, they just don't have the exit flag yet.

Quite a few seem to have the exit flag now. Only glanced through the first 500 or so, but it looked to be about 50 which had the exit flag

How is that possible? I was under the impression that it took a long time to be a real exit node.

No stable flags. No guard flags, either.

Google will probably shut them down quicker than the consensus gives them those. They are tiny; it's an attempted Sybil, but it's worse than GCHQ's one that used Amazon nodes.

Edit: Down.

And without that flag they might as well not be exit nodes - it takes 88 days to be approved.
