I'll test this and post-back. I'm going to test a variety of suggestions, with deference to a gentoo-centric solution. James

Use the sslh multiplexor to control and switch incoming ssl. Unfortunately I have some difficult networks to get out of. Performance is ok for gentoo distfile download from my repo, but I have not tried super large files. BillK
[gentoo-user] Gentoo centric VPN
So, I need to be able setup and tear down a 4-component network. Sometimes all (4) systems will be in the same location, probably about 50% of the time. My (3) personal systems are: (1) gentoo laptop (Open RC if that matters) (1) window-7 laptop (1) Android Cell (galaxy note 9) These (3) are with me most about 70% of the time, but often they will be in different locations hundreds of miles apart. (1) The corporate windows workstation/server. (always stationary). (4) Total, often just the the (3) systems on this transient net. So, my research suggest that WireGuard might be best because most of what I'm moving around is a wide variety of image types, as well as video and 3D/4D files and binaries for odd-ball embedded devices, of a wide variety. Eventually the file movement will be mostly automated (scripted). WireGuard purports to have the most bandwidth capabilities and some of these file_sets will be in the gigabyte range often. I've found lots to read and noodle with, but I'm curious what (gentoo) folks would suggest. For starters it cannot use an outsourced VPN; that's dictated by others. So a "home-spun VPN" is warranted. >From others :: "But WireGuard being awesome is old news. The new news is that now there�s an easy way to integrate it into Android ROMs and kernels.

Others suggests, for custom ROMs, to anything to secure the Android phone and get rid of the "crap apps" would be most welcome. If I cannot get rid of them I'd like a systematic way to bury those pesky Android apps that pedestrian use, down the tree somewhere. I guess what I'm trying to say is once I get the (4) devices working, I'll be testing a variety of way to setup Android or embedded gentoo on that Android Galaxy-9 so I control the stack, it can deeply sniffed, either on the internal device or on external ports, via Deep Packet Inspection codes on the ports via other microprocessors running embedded gentoo. Use Gentoo prefix? An android experimental stack? I have a second cell phone so I can do whatever I need to with the Android Galaxy Note 9. Jtag or other low level hardware programmers are of keen interest; mandatory. Perhaps Samsung or another vendor sells the hardware programming equipment? 5G bandwidth is definitely front and center, when and where it's available, but ignored for now or until those phones are available.
