I would recommend running bridges (opposed to relays) on a home network to
avoid browing issues with your bank, news, etc as these entities often block
Tor relays and not bridges.
Respectfully,

deb (e.g. on Debian or Ubuntu), it comes witha tool to set up multiple tors.
"man tor-instance-create" to get started.There is also the possibility of using
the fancy automateddeployment tools that some of the bigger relay operators
hereuse, which probably only makes sense if you are already familiarwith these
automation tools (a popular one based on
ansible:https://github.com/nusenu/ansible-relayor ).In either case, make sure
you have enough memory in your system tohandle each Tor relay: relays can use 1
or 2 gigabytes of memory eachduring normal operation, but when the network is
under load it can gomuch higher than that.> Additionally, I am curious about
what would be most beneficial for the Tor network today: a highly resilient
bridge or multiple relays managed from the same node?If you have the bandwidth
(which it sounds like you do), the multiplefast relays will be much more useful
to the network.See also
https://2019.www.torproject.org/docs/faq#RelayOrBridge> Is it feasible to
operate both at the same time? This is probably not the best idea since the
bridge's IP address would be public, right?It is technically possible yes, but
as you say, having a public relayon the IP address will undermine the
effectiveness of your bridge onthat IP address.The same logic is also why we
don't recommend running two differentkinds of bridges on a single IP address:
if one of them gets discoveredand the censor blocks by IP address, then the
other will stop working too.> I am looking for guidance on the best course
of action to support the Tor community.> Thank you in advance for your
assistance,Aleff.Thanks for wanting to
