Well... yeah, it is hard. It's undeniably much, much harder than buying a box and plugging it in, even if you're the kind of person who thinks configuring a VPS safely for Tor, then flawlessly configuring local network routing is an easy task. Hell I'm certified nerd and I'd still be scared to (flawlessly) do that. Not to mention a box is cheaper than a monthly VPS.
Tor browser is slightly easier but still crappy, because as the Kickstarter says it's just your browser and less tech-savvy people might wrongly equate "my browser" with "all of my computer's internet activity".
This project is a fantastic idea.
