Although I haven't had a lengthy experience with running a TOR relay, I will definitely attest to the fact that even the cheapest $5 VPS with low specs and a good distro on board, you can easily operate a relay. As for operating one at home, don't operate an exit like Olaf said and you'll be

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.

Hey, I run relays with less RAM and it works fine. A problem with a SoC might be that the hardware cant "help" with crypto stuff (but I am not sure, I've read that somewhere). Also, this sounds like you are planning to run an exit from home, which you shouldn't. Greetings On 15.12.2020

Hello ! Thank you very much for the large amount of replies. I have made a test and after less hours of activity I can confirm the low RAM consumption. There are no problems with 1GB. 'htop' reports 3,1% of RAM usage for 'unbound'. I will now reconfigure my fleet one by one next days. Kind
