Hi, Most of the people that get raided are exit node operators. So, not a big problem for you to run a non-exit relay since you're not the one who connecting with other people outside the Tor network and it won't trace back to you. It's even safer if you run a bridge relay. By the way, what was the reason or issue given by police when the non-exit relay operator got contacted? And is that person also in Switzerland?

Hi,
As lately there were many discussions on getting Tor from the experimental repository running on Raspian, I thought I would share my experiences here.
First, I tried to install Tor following [1] and [2] and ran into the same compatibility issues as most of you. But then I just downloaded the soft-float version of Raspian "wheezy" from [3]. And I could install Tor and obsproxy from the experimental repository without any issues (i.e. without any compiling or complex configurations).
I ran the obfuscated bridge for a week and it relayed a few 100 MB without any problems. The bridge is connected to a standard home cable connection in Switzerland (router runs pfSense). Of course the load was not too high due to only running an obfuscated bridge.
After the week I decided to shut the bridge down because I heard from people being contacted by the police even though only running a non-exit relay. As I share a flat with some friends, I absolutely cannot afford being raided or similar. If anyone can give me some advice on running non-exit relays at home in Switzerland, I might consider running the bridge again.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Damian
