I have an old raspberry pi laying around. Would this work on there?

I heard many people run relays on Raspberry Pi. Put Debian on it, and give it a try! It should handle the traffic just fine for your home. It just might not be enough if you plan on running a very fast exit relay, I believe. But you should stick to a normal relay if you're running it at home.
I run my relay on a netbook with similar specs as the RPi 3, dealing with ~500 KBytes per second. CPU usage never goes above 20%.

Thanks! I'll give it a try.
I don't think I'll try an exit node while living overseas. Wouldn't mind running one back home, but cant really afford to get booted from the country.

I remember reading a story from an exit relay operator, describing his experience in the last years. And all he got for running an exit relay was notifications from the ISP/hosting company, which were all explained and forgotten many times. No SWAT, no FBI, no car chase. Maybe it's not that dangerous. But caution is good.

In my home country it wouldn't be an issue, but I'm not sure about the laws where I currently live and how they wouldn't handle it since I'm not a local.
They tend to go full law-mode to set an example, and I haven't read about any of those happening yet. I don't want to be the example.

Sure thing!
