There is no risk in setting up a bridge, only in setting up an exit node. When setting up an exit node, sites see your IP as the source of traffic. If you're just setting up a bridge or a normal non-exit relay, then no sites see your IP involved in the traffic, and you have no way of seeing what traffic you are forwarding on.
It's safe to be an entrance into the network, but it can be dangerous to be the exit, as you sometimes get blamed for the traffic.
- haakon 14y agoYou don't need a beefy network connection to run a useful Tor non-exit relay, either. As long as you have a machine that's on 24/7, and can spare at least 20KB/sec in both directions, running a Tor relay is just a nice and charitable thing to do, with zero risk.

- hucker 14y agoAbsolutely. You can even run it of an old WRT54GL with OpenWRT or the like if you have one in a dusty cabinet.
