generally speaking, if a school is blocking p2p traffic, they’re going to have a policy against server hosting, vpn, or any other service that enables people unauthorized access to their network.

with that said, anything that involved uploading content to an in-between server is completely safe. unless you’re uploading several gigabytes in content regularly of course–at which point they’ll just warn you for using too much bandwidth, which is a lower offense than p2p and likely wont result in any formal sanctions (ie access rejected)
