I am about to run a middle relay on my raspberry pi. I would like to run it always when I am not at home / at sleep using full bandwidth and otherwise I would prefer to plug the device off.
Is this a reasonable scenario, or does the relay always undergo the lifecycle again, resulting in no support to the tor network?
If it works, then which properties do I need to maintain stable, such that Tor recognizes, that I always boot the same device? The IPv4 address?
Tor has no hard uptime requirement but if your relay is not running for more than 2 hours a day its usefulness is limited. Ideally the relay runs on a server which runs 24/7.
As you are running at home, Iād strongly recommend running a standalone snowflake proxy.
Does the script also prioritize the traffic from other devices of my home network over the traffic of the raspberry pi, such that I would not have any bandwidth throttling at all?
