Bridge on Raspberry Pi Zero

What is the current support for running Tor on Rasbian, and is running a bridge on a Pi Zero feasible? I vaguely remember there being repository / package / dependency issues with Raspbian last time I tried. Thanks!

Hi, Nope, it's not advisable. The RPi Zero is really limited; depending on which version of Linux you are running, it might even run with no support at all for floating point arithmetic. The RPi3 family is quite well suited, but the RPi Zero runs _way_ below its speed.

70 Mbps isn’t fast enough for Tor? Sent from ProtonMail Mobile On Mon, Feb 10, 2020 at 8:25 PM, Gunnar Wolf <gwolf@gwolf.org> wrote:

Hey, He is referring to the cpu not being fast enough it can’t make all the calculations needed to run TOR fast enough. We are referring to the base clock not your internet speed Thanks, John Csuti

If you manage to pass 70Mbps of Tor traffic through your Raspberry Pi Zero... You are definitively better at tweaking it than I am :-]

I'd say it is not fast enough for Tor, we did some tests with a Raspberry Pi4 lately, these can utilize close to 100 MBit/s. You could just try it, the Debian repository should provide the correct version for the processor architecture used in Raspberry Pi. Maybe the Tor version from the Raspbian repo is outdated.
