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.
I understand your position better, indeed. Thanks for taking the time to explain! You’ll be happy to learn that what you describe, EUI-64, is not the only way to generate an IPv6 address. The router will give you the prefix in any case, but there is the Stable Privacy Addresses scheme if you want the link-local part generated automatically, and you can set up a static IPv6 address (or several) on your machine, and the router will just have to shut up and deal it to you (for the local part, the prefix is still coming from the ISP)
