Good morning,
Both "cheap" and "useful" for running Tor nodes at home won't be found in big box retail ever, so I would take a look at the Mikrotik RB750Gr3 - it will do exactly what you want after it's configured properly. I used to have an RB1200 and recently upgraded to a CCR1009, both from Mikrotik, and have found them to be quite capable under heavy load.

I also recommend going with MikroTik. They handle quite impressive under heavy load and the price:performance ratio is very good, as opposite to other brands. MikroTik also runs RouterOS (on linux kernel) that comes with a management tool with graphical interface and it has been heavily improved.
Thank you all so far, looks like Mikrotik is the name of the game - never heard about them :-(
I used to try this https://en.avm.de/products/fritzbox/fritzbox-7590/technical-data/ one with 512MB RAM and it couldn't stand the number of connection you can get on a 40Mbit/s line for more than a day. So i wonder if anything with less or same amount of RAM will be able to - or is this the wrong question?
"..after it's configured properly..." is that a difficult task and are there good manuals or other help for those routers as I am not familiar with networking?

Hello,
You guys are shure it can handle dsl? I am unable to find any specifications regarding that online. (maybe just to stupid).
You have to add a DSL modem, the mikrotik is only a router and not able to do DSL on its own. Options could be a Zyxel VMG1312-B30A which is able to do VDSL up to 100 Mbit/s, just configure it in bridge mode, or a DrayTek Vigor 130.
Alternatives to mikrotik could be (all need an external DSL modem):
the turris omnia (open source hardware, software based on OpenWRT, https://omnia.turris.cz/en/)
edge router-x (or any other from the edge router series) from ubiquiti which costs less than 50 € (https://www.ubnt.com/edgemax/edgerouter-x/). I'd prefer the ubiquiti over mikrotik (which I'm not very experienced with), because the debian running below the router os (called edgeOS which is based on vyos) is easy accessible and you can install debian packages (e. g. unbound). mikrotik has to be rooted to do that.
or you could buy a pceniges board (http://pcengines.ch/apu.htm) and install opnsense or pfsense. this needs a bit more power, due to the routing being done in software and not in hardware.
afaik atm both, the ubiquiti (v3.10 https://community.ubnt.com/t5/EdgeMAX-Feature-Requests/Upgrade-Linux-kernel-...) and mikrotik (v3.3.5, https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:RouterOS_features) operating systems are running EOL kernels. The upcoming edgeos 2.0, which is still in alpha, will upgrade the underlying OS to debian stretch and use a 4.4 kernel. I don't know about mikrotik routeros. Therefore I personally would not buy a ubiquiti or mikrotik atm.
