Thanks for running a relay Torzilla. If you do decide to get a Raspberry Pi, the step-by-step middle relay setup tutorial here might be useful:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1bf_D_j1O-9ckTS9DY8ngIdiFwHta6Q5Uj_5dvOiavCQ/edit?usp=docslist_api If you want to set it up as a hidden bridge, you'll need to slightly modify things, but it should help you get started at least :) Good luck!
