<p>Although I haven't had a lengthy experience with running a TOR
relay, I will definitely attest to the fact that even the cheapest
$5 VPS with low specs and a good distro on board, you can easily
operate a relay. As for operating one at home, don't operate an
exit like Olaf said and you'll be okay. Just ensure your node
meets the requirements set forth on <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://community.torproject.org/relay/relays-requirements/">this
page.</a></p>
<p>Regards,</p>
<p>Thomas<br>
