[arm-allstar] Use a VPS service --was:vpn and port forarding

[David McGough]

Jed,

The "IronVZ" plan should be plenty of VPS horsepower and bandwidth, at
$2.49/month or $24.90/year.

If you would like to experimentally try something out, I can setup some 
OpenVPN keys / config files for you to try....I've occasionally done this 
for other hams who wanted to evaluate this strategy.

...BTW, I don't work for or have any interest in any of the VPS companies. 
I do own a CoLo facility / ISP, but, this isn't our market area.
