Relays are the backbone of the Tor network! This category is for support and questions about running Tor relays (exit, non-exit, bridge).  
To learn more about the types of relays in the Tor Network, how to setup a relay and other resources please refer to our [Community Portal](https://community.torproject.org/relay/). We also maintain a set of [FAQs](https://support.torproject.org/relay-operators/) in the Support Portal.
