+==== Proxy ====
+  * after consideration....
+  * I decided to use my VPS-hosted echolink proxy
+    * remove port forwards on home router for UDP/5198 & UDP/5199
+    * open port TPC/8100 for **only my home IP address** on VPS
+      * this means only one IP address can reach the Proxy on port TCP/8100
+    * open ports UDP/5198 & UDP/5199 for anywhere on VPS
+    * edit echolink proxy config on VPS to allow only GM4SLV-L to connect
+      * this means only one callsign can connect to the proxy
+    * start proxy in a tmux session, using bash script on VPS
+    * edit ModuleEchoLink.conf on svxlink pi to use the proxy
