I am in the EU. I want to help make the TOR network more robust by contributing a relay node. I have one of three hardware options: a raspberry pi zero W, raspberry pi 4B, or ThinkPad T470s.

In your practical experience, which of these computers would be the best for the network? As I understand, beyond a point, the CPU power doesn’t matter unless massive traffic loads go through the node.

P.S: Not sure if this is relevant, but I currently have a pihole hosted in a separate RPI zero. I plan to host this at home. I do not have a separate connection line. My router doesn’t support vlan.

Add: Thank you for the kind replies. Based on the feedback, it think I’m currently not setup to help the network. I will instead continue with my annual contribution.

I will look into hosting a node on a VPS and just pay a monthly subscription fee or something.

    For the Tor operators, how to you mitigate the risks associated with what’s being trafficked across your network?
