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
