I used to run a relay at home until two things happened. 1) my bank blocked my home internet as it was a listed tor relay node even though it wasn’t an exit node. I just told my wife to use the app and disconnect from WiFi so that wasn’t a big issue. 2) getting called to security at my company as they had some abuse from tor nodes and saw I used a “tor node to vpn to work” and it was pretty brutal. Nothing came of it (because I did nothing wrong) but I obviously stopped running a relay. Just a warning.
