That’s a big number. What’s the use case?

Email does take some serious bandwidth

On a more serious note, people who have fast Internet should be running Tor relays. It would make the network much faster and secure.

Will you protect them from police raids and cover their legal costs for running a Tor node?

And it’s quite likely they only have 10G locally, with way less bandwidth going to the outside.

There’s different types of relay, including exit relays, which are the legally problematic type. Middle, guard, and bridge relays don’t face the same issues with law enforcement and IP blocking.

You do face issues running a regular middle/guard relay. My IP is tainted from overzealous sysadmins looking up Tor related IPs and seeing mine because middle relays are public knowledge. I am banned from a lot of places for simply being a middle relay.

Really? That’s so odd, I thought as long as you’re not running an exit node, you should be fine. TIL, I’ll have to check my ISP’s policies before setting one up then.
