Re: [tor-relays] Smallest, cheapest, lightest computer for tor relay

I believe the 2 and 3 are the same price as the 1 though. At any rate, you should probably compile the latest Tor from source if you can't use the official repository.

The RPi is good to use as relay with your requirement. You can expect a
total transfer rate of 11 MBytes (100 Mbits/sec). If you use Raspberry
Pi 1 Model B+ you cannot use the official Tor repository, but the
Raspbian repos (armel) do it as well. The Pi 1 has a significant lower
power consumption with only one core and 32-bit OS. As an Onion Router
it does it job very well. You can buy a used one, too.
