I’ve got 50Mbit down/10Mbit up at home and planned to give about 5Mbit to the 
relay. As far as I’ve seen yet, even exit relays don’t run at 100% all the 
time, so I might adjust that.

Thanks for that! So my 5Mbit estimate is already more than enough, good to know.
About stability, I’ve read this part of the Tor FAQ 
https://www.torproject.org/docs/faq.html.en#RelayFlexible 
<https://www.torproject.org/docs/faq.html.en#RelayFlexible> and I think I can 
check off each item.

Yes, as every documentation and tutorial I found also mentions this, being an 
exit relay seems to be default. Thanks again for pointing that out.

Cheers,
Jannis
