That's one of the nice things about RetroNet.  Members are functionally 
clients of a public service.  ;-)

Which also means that testing through the 3G/LTE connection is probably 
a better test.

Cool!

Would you mind setting up a Pi with basic internet connectivity (enough 
to connect to web servers) and install WireGuard.

I'm hoping that you can do it through the package system on Raspbian.

Please take notes as you do the RetroNet specific parts.  (Even if the 
notes are just shell history.)  Those notes will grow and be added to 
ending up in documentation for others to use.
