It's not powerful, but it certainly works, and if you have one around you can
set it up and leave it alone until the next Tor release. I put vnstat (to
measure network traffic) on mine a few months ago, and this is what it shows.
I don't know why the numbers vary, but the Pi quietly moves one or two gigs of
traffic a day without complaining.
$ vnstat -m --iface wlan0
wlan0 / monthly
month rx | tx | total | avg. rate
