[tor-relays] Question: RAM requirement for an exit relay

[Olaf Grimm]

Hello Amadeus!

When you talk about a RasPi, I assume you mean a home location.
Please read the recommendations.  Never operate an Exit Relay at home!
It will be expensive if the wrong people knock on the door.

By the way, for an Exit Relay the bandwidth should already be 10MBit/s
or better.
