I think the biggest problem is outbound main being blocked for being a 
dynamic IP.

I am toying with getting faster dynamic IP service for less, but 
bouncing through a static IP in the cloud. Maybe I have two networks 
internally at home. (They can run on the same wire.) One would be a NAT 
of the dynamic service, and one would be somehow tunneled through a 
virtual machine at Linode or Digitalocean. (What is the easiest and most 
reliable way to do that?)
