Looking at the list, you can find, that there are some nodes listed as 'Exit', and some are not. Perhaps the plug-in could be improved to make the choice to block some hosts more sensible.

Perhaps the plug-in could be improved to make the choice to block some hosts more sensible. The plug-in could improve even more to only block nodes that actually have exit-policies that would allow to connect to the testing server. I prethee you to heed the information in the Tor abuse FAQ.
