Dear Gunes Acar,
thanks for this optimistic e-mail. For the sake of geo-diversity, my relay will be placed in Wallonia :) A bit of research tells me that we are NATed here. Therefore I'm thinking of establishing a tunnel to a IPv6 broker, e.g., HE or similar with no traffic limits. Perhaps, that will solve my problem being behind the wall at Uni.
Regarding Belgacom, as the WIFI-modem is in hands of my landlord, I will try to tweak portforwarding using upnpc, if it works. If not, perhaps, the same strategy, IPv6-IPv4 tunnel...
Anyway, it sounds great that Belgacom doesn't give a toss about Tor. The only scaring thing is that my landlord may lose access to some internet resources, which resolve against x.x.x.x.tor.dan.me.uk, e.g., forums.freebsd.org and etc.

Speaking of BeNeLux,
is Belgium any worse in tolerating a Tor-server at Home (Belgacom) / at Uni Campus (will not say what Uni)?
In the case of Uni Campus, one needs to run purely a non-exit relay, I presume :)
Will not directly answer your question, but we had no difficulties getting the permission for our our non-exit relay (kulcosictor) at KU Leuven. But, don't know what would have happened if we had asked permission for an exit.
Also, apparently 2 of the 4 exit relays in Belgium runs at Belgacom and one of them (darkman) seems to be around for more than 4 months: https://atlas.torproject.org/#details/64C05AF7C30CFEB56AD717564C4783B322 82195C https://atlas.torproject.org/#search/country:be%20flag:exit
