Hiya,

Just on that one point (the rest seems fine):

Let's assume all client/agent stuff is wonderfully protected
e.g. via TLS.

Normally, the fact that a client at IP1 is managing an agent at
IP2, which is still visible despite the TLS, is not much of a
deal. Nor is it a deal when that happens, e.g. in reaction to
some other event, perhaps even one triggered by an attacker.

But if the agent is my home g/w, then the sensitivity level goes
up I think, or at least it can. The reason is that the agent's
address (IP2) is tied to me. If the agent was on my phone (e.g.
for tethering) then it'd be even more of a deal perhaps, as I
carry it with me.

If i2rs just isn't intended for such use-cases, it may be worth
saying that was all I meant.

Cheers,
S.
