Dude the guy is not asking if it is safe to operate a freaking tor proxy
server.  He is asking if he set up something like what you would get if you
were to go to a freaking coffee shop.  Stop telling the guy he can't do it.
Tell him the risk involved and tell him the best way to mitigate those risk.
I know we have a bunch of IT professionals that are on this mailing list.
The link that is provided talks of operating a proxy site that can and will
violate your ISP terms of use.  Now if you go through the proper channels
you can offer a wifi hotspot as a service.  You have to speak to your ISP
for the details of what you need to do.  So having said that and now getting
pissed with the level of incompetence that many of my fellow IT
professionals are showing I'm left wondering how in the hell you got your
jobs.  Now I am going to give Mr. Lightfoot this advise please consult an IT
professional that is well versed in wireless networking and security.  This
person will also be able to help you with all of the legalities that you may
run into with this project. Now for everyone else we all have to think
before we comment, not misrepresent ourselves and do our best to leave our
personal feelings about things in our pockets when consulting someone on
anything unless they ask for it.

If you want to give
