Hello everyone.
I am usually connecting to the internet through VPN (Mullvad). Would it make sense to setup an exit relay to run whenever I can? I can forward one or two ports to my machine. My IP may change often and I might have to shut down the node when I need the bandwidth for something else. Also the bandwidth won't be much. I expect 40KB/s upload on average with bursts to 70 or 80.
Mullvad is obviously already receving a bazilion complaints about forum SPAM etc (thus I often find myself blocked from a few sites, having to solve captchas in many cases) so I guess they will see no diference.

Hi,
With such a slow bandwidth, I don't think you'll be useful as an exit. You better be a bridge instead. Bridges don't see much traffic but are useful for when ISPs/governments are blocking normal relays

Bridge on a dynamic IP? Does that even work?

Sure it works. I also run a relay on a dynamic IP. Bridges are relays that are not publicly listed in the Tor directory, that's the only difference

Your are right, I found an explanation of how dynamic IP bridges work here in case anyone is interested: https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-relays/2011-January/000356.html
Thank you all for the info. I'll now start running a bridge.
