Once upon a time, I tried running a relay at home. Certain websites started blocking my IP - their operators wanted to block exit nodes, but indiscriminately blocked all IPs from the Tor directory, both exit nodes and relay nodes. At that point, I stopped doing it.

Tor bridges do not have this problem, do not consume a lot of bandwidth, and are very useful for people who need to circumvent firewalls. I have been running one for years without any issues. The Tor Project is currently looking for more volunteers to run bridges:
