C, there is also a tor-relays-universities list. Forwarding there to keep the initial chat primed. Once you have buy in from legal, chairs, security, upstream, etc this can be a very strong position, often better than pay 'contract' of random ISP host. I have seen such 'outside' nets used for these not strictly mission things, such I suggest it in this thread. Different approach depends on if you can find and house a legitimate paper producing research purpose, or if you simply will run it for supporting freedom point of view. Worth mention is that both internet2 and nanog have mailing lists where queries and propositions could be sent. Cold contacts at regionals are not hard to find. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Cristóbal Palmer <cmpalmer(a)ibiblio.org> Date: Mon, Jun 9, 2014 at 5:56 PM Subject: Re: [tor-relays] Running relays at consortia networks [was: JANET/edu] To: tor-relays(a)lists.torproject.org On Jun 7, 2014 3:27 PM, "grarpamp" <grarpamp(a)gmail.com> wrote: > Has anyone tried approaching these networks themselves > to see about running relays there?

I'm at a member institution for Internet2, and the buy-in process put us in a research VLAN "outside" the university network. I'd be very interested in hearing from people at other member institutions about coordinating management of risk such that our service is more supportable and robust.

Has anyone tried approaching these networks themselves to see about running relays there? Their bandwidth for sponsored things is often free. In the US you might try internet2.edu and all its various connecting regional networks. On a second further approach, once all the risks and pro-reasons have been discussed and accepted, the consortia backing of many Uni's within would be bulletproof.

Tor relay on JANET

Hi, I'm wondering if anyone knows anything about JANET's (the UK academic ISP) views on running a Tor relay? It's probably not worth putting together a proposal for running one in a UK University if the ISP is going to have problems with it. Thanks, Iain. -- urn:x-human:Iain R.
