[tor-relays] Exit Node with Onion Pi

[Alex Haesche]

The common theme seems to be "don't do it." This is a little disappointing because I want to contribute somehow.
 Would you guys suggest running a bridge/relay instead, or just not helping out in terms of bandwidth contribution?

Nice line! Thank you for thinking about running an exit! Your ISP might
not be excited about an exit relay on their network. I've heard that
some people had success with smaller local ISPs, but with larger ISPs it
can be difficult.

Maybe it's best to start with a relay that only permits a handful of
ports, and see how it goes.

There's a lot more info at

An Raspberry Pi is not powerful enough to saturate a 100mbit link.
Depending on the model, if I remember correctly, you will not be able to
make more than 10mbit per direction.

Someone should start a wiki page that compares different hardware
platforms. I hear good things about Odroid, Olinuxino and PCEngines APU.
