Redpill in an alien environment
It is possible to run a Redpill system at a host organisation not using (and
with no interest in) the Redpill concept. The system usually need not submit
to a strict foreign policy.
You need from the ICT staff of your host organisation...:

A single static public IP number with port 22 open inbound and standard
ports open outbound (or ideally fully open)
Space for a single standard-sized computer (or preferrably 2)
