Hi,

So wondering for running a middle relay on a raspberry pi esque micro computer, what are the recommed maximum bandwidth for running a middle relay on a hole network (by a stock isp router, etc?)? Thanks.

Be aware that some sites use idiotic blacklisting services that include middle nodes instead of listing exit nodes only. So you might not be able to reach some sites from your own home. This for example is happening on many italian public services sites.

Bye, Marco

Hi Keifer,

Based on my experience, I am using a Raspberry Pi 5 to run a middle relay, and the average bandwidth is around 4.32 ~ 5.40 MiB/s, even though my home network in Taiwan has a ≅37.5MiB/s (300 Mb/s) connection.

I think a ≅12.5MiB/s (100 Mb/s) upload/download speed is sufficient for the Pi to run a middle relay.
