I'm looking at getting a 10 gigabit network switch. I only have 3 devices that could use that speed right now but I do plan on upgrading things over time.

Any recommendations?

Will you protect them from police raids and cover their legal costs for running a Tor node?

And it's quite likely they only have 10G locally, with way less bandwidth going to the outside.

    There's different types of relay, including exit relays, which are the legally problematic type. Middle, guard, and bridge relays don't face the same issues with law enforcement and IP blocking.

    Exit relays are totally fine from a legal perspective. They key is making sure the ISP and local police are aware so they don't come after you. ISPs have sent DMCA letters and such to operators when in reality they can't and shouldn't control the traffic coming out of Tor. The good news is that Tor has templates to respond.

    Best practice is to let bigger organizations run exit relays so that there is the oversight from leadership.

    Don't run a Tor node in places that have censorship laws or problems with freedom. In places such as the US and most of Europe it should be totally fine to run a node. What the network really needs is more middle nodes. You can inform your ISP and the local police of what you are doing just to be sure.

    The only time you could get into trouble is when you are running a exit node. ISPs and police have mistakenly classified out nodes as local traffic. It is recommended that only organizations such as universities run Tor exit nodes. However, it is important to keep in mind that to my knowledge no one has ever been arrested for running a exit node in a western country.

    There links to other occurrences of arrest in the comments.

    That's just for a exit node. I explicitly stated that one should only let larger organizations run a node.

    Also, my original comment still stands about no one being arrested
