Very interesting project! I hope you will succeed.

1. yes, if are behind tor, each one will have his own onion address. No ports on routers needed. But why do you need so many nodes for education?
2. Is enough to sync one fitst and after that you can copy or sync data from that first node to others. In [the Troubleshooting manual](http://community.umbrel.com/t/umbrel-troubleshooting-guide/3632/) I explained how you can do that (sync from local node) so you will not use internet bandwidth.
3. Each node, to be accessed from local LAN, could be using IP and/or specific names in hosts file (eg, node1.local, node2.local etc). [Here I explained how to set a static IP to an Umbrel node](http://community.umbrel.com/t/how-to-set-a-static-ip-for-your-umbrel-machine/845/) and you can set specific names.

I suggest to check the [Guides section](http://community.umbrel.com/c/guides/14/l/top/all) of this forum, where we wrote many more guides and in special the one that I wrote about [Getting started with Umbrel node](http://community.umbrel.com/t/getting-started-with-your-umbrel/3555/).

If you need further assistance, you are invited here to ask anything, I can even write more guides for your education purposes. You can check my Bitcoin guides collection on [my substack page](https://darthcoin.substack.com/).

Education is the key!
