 Replying to [comment:7 pato]:
 > I run it solely for other people, so I think it's better to use a relay
 instead of bridge?

 Bridges send their details to the bridge authority, and these details are
 given out to censored users.
 So you would be helping other people.

 > As far as I understand the LimitNOFILE, it's system wide and could cause
 various other issues. I fear I rather have to shutdown my relay.

 If you use a systemd drop-in for the tor service, it only applies to the
 tor process.
