I'm thinking about setting up an exit here at my university here in the US.
Cool!
I'll be doing some research as to what ports I can open to contribute yet avoid being flooded by complaints, but if anyone has any tips I'd appreciate it.
It will already be very helpful if you just pick a small subset from the Reduced Exit Policy. https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/ReducedExitPolicy
Would it be a good idea to copy the exit policy of the node at MIT? Is there a way to configure the Linux firewall so that only Tor has Internet access, in order to help show that I wasn't behind anything that comes out of the exit?
I don't think that that will help much or is worth the effort. You could have done Bad Stuff, then (re)configured the firewall.
I'm basically just looking to get started here if this is feasible, and looking for advice.
I hope you have seen both https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/TorExitGuidelines as well as https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/TorGuideUniversities .
In short, look up the abuse contact of your (future) exit relay, and make new friends there. And find a professor that supports you.
