I have some tangential experience with a big sprawling old university network. It's a hard job. On the one hand, you need to protect academic freedom. Someone really is writing a paper about sexuality and needs access to crazy port sites. There's also the 90 year old advisor that never really understood email and why it's bad to click on every link. Reach out to a professor, and write up a paper proposal about practical deployment of wireguard. You should be able to get some access to university IT folks. Not like, help desk, but net engineers. Take notes, capture the details about why it's tricky, and how you solve it. You're not going to get into a journal for pure research, or anything super fancy like that. But if you put in the time, you'll get wireguard working and get a little credit on campus as not being clueless.
