This was more of a community service, but when I worked for a university office I ran a TOR node on one of my PCs. After a while though, IT sent someone to ask me kindly not to make it an exit node. Other than that they didn't seem to mind. It was nice having excess bandwidth.

I also ran some distributed computing apps like folding@home.
