How many Mbps?  I've had a RaspberyPi struggle to forward 1.5Mbps (only
intermittently though) and posted about it in here - it may freeze or
reboot when under stress.  If you are pushing more than 1.5Mbps, you're
more likely to get picked as guard, etc, which can push the Pi over the
edge.

There are a number of highly scattered posts on tuning the Pi for Tor.
I finally got time to get mine working 2 days ago and am collecting
everything I did to it (and further tweaks - I'd had to take it offline
due to TCP connection "storms" crashing my *router*) into a single long,
highly detailed post for everybody here.

But stock Raspbian + Pi + Tor + fiber = you're gonna have a bad time,
without tuning.

Best,
-Gordon
