Hi,
Gunnar Wolf:
This assignation is not factible because the Tor network is not compatible with the Acceptable Usage Policies of RedUNAM, being this infrastructure oriented to the service of institutional goals.
While the Tor network can have reseearch purposes, due to its nature and the hiding of IPv4 addresses and anonymous connectivity, it is susceptible to be used by third parties from outside the University with purposes conflicting with those specified in item 1, without any possibility of control or regulation from the University's part or from your project.
In most universities there is a person/entity that can override many if not all possible "restrictions" in order for a project to continue/start successfully. I suggest you to find these persons that can override these "controls" and convince how difficult (or impossible?) is to continue/start your research project without hosting Tor relays.
Persistence usually helps, paying a weekly visit to the people responsible and asking them for the next steps or how you can help to move this forward.
- Even more so: The Tor network, due to its definition and structure, can potentially incorporate third people with malicious or even delictive intentions, which would affect not only the computers or networks in your Institute or all of the University, but also networks outside the institution's control
Another idea will be to do a general Tor presentation at the UNAM university. The date should be based on the the availability or favored date/time of the responsible(s) for the network policies (RedUNAM) and the persons that have the special override powers
Cheers, ~Vasilis
