How much traffic does all of Hecnet generate for a typical month,
roughly?   Is it more than a couple hundred gigabytes?

No idea, but I seriously doubt it is anywhere near that.
But it is also almost impossible to measure. There are traffic going on
between different machines, local traffic within areas, local networks,
across the world, and everything in between, over various links.

I don't mind taking your word for it.

What do you all think?   Do you think it might be a good idea to set up a
node on this colo to allow some (most?) people who have dynamic IP to
VPN into?

I will not stop you. People are free to connect more machines to HECnet, and if they route traffic, that is also ok. So just go ahead.

More access points in various places don't hurt.
