Speakers
Description
The Tor network, known for providing privacy and censorship circumvention to millions of daily users, is made up of volunteer relay operators around the world. A growing number of these relays are hosted at or run by European NRENs and universities. This session by Tor Project and Switch will compare Tor's education, community, and research goals to the NREN mission. We will use Switch's experience hosting Tor exit
relays as a case study to talk about lessons learned and raise policy decisions that NRENs and universities should consider.
What will the TNC audience take away from your talk
We aim for three takeaways: (1) the audience will better understand how Tor's goals match up to the missions for NRENs and educational institutions, (2) participants will build connections to NREN staff who have concrete experience hosting Tor exit relays, and (3) we will highlight Tor policy questions that NRENs and universities should be prepared to consider.
