Anyone with a computer connected to the Internet, can host a relay. Also, many people already pay for a remote server and can just run a relay on it.

An average user would need to figure out:
- how to do port forwarding
- getting a static IP
- getting a domain name
- configuring a reverse proxy
- installing and compiling strfry
- writing their own relay policy scripts
Pretty easy isn’t it? 😆
Plenty of these steps aren't necessary for plebs. I'm far more concerned about security when user's host applications. Even most developers suck balls as basic application security let alone network security.
