Hi,
That's awesome, Andreas!
We have this page with some tips: https://community.torproject.org/relay/community-resources/tor-relay-univers...
Here's a project that other members of our community have used in the past and that you could adapt for your university: https://www.overleaf.com/project/541e42eddb749944790bd16d
And as Matthias said, you can find more relays outside .EDU, for example, this non-exit node hosted by our friends in University of Campinas, in Brazil: https://metrics.torproject.org/rs.html#details/1E7BDE03151AAB779CB4AFEAEEA52...
Regarding your specific questions, we can chat on #tor-relays / irc.oftc.net[1] (or #tor-relays:matrix.org, if you use matrix).
cheers, Gus

Hi Andreas,
There is a mailing list for tor & universities: https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-relays-universities/ its not very high traffic and the archives do not hold many e-mails.
It's maybe worth to ask there too and to read through the archives.
I'd also suggest to check for EDU relays on relay search and contact some of the bigger EDU relays directly. It would probably be good to have some catalog of questions ready.
Edu AS that I remember to run tor exit relays:
- AS3 (MIT, US)
- AS680 (DFN, DE)
- AS12093 (UWaterloo, CA)
- AS36850 (UNC, US)
There are probably dozens more. So I'd suggest to browse through relay search yourself :-)
Best regards, Matthias

Hello everyone,
I'm a member of Lysator ACS at Linköping university, Sweden. I'm currently investigating the possibility for our computer society to run Tor exit nodes. The IT department has made it clear that they will need some convincing that this is a good idea. One thing that they are wondering is whether there are other universites with experience running Tor nodes.
If anyone is currently running Tor nodes on university networks, I'd love to hear about your experiences. A few questions that turned up are listed below.
- Have you seen any good or bad press because of the node?
- Are you receiving a lot of abuse complaints?
- How are you handling abuse complaints?
- How are you protecting the rest of your infrastructure from possibly malicious traffic?
- Do you have any killer arguments as to why supporting Tor is a good idea that helped sway the people in charge at your university?
Thank you in advance for any feedback! Cordially, Andreas Kempe
