[arm-allstar] Advantages of a hosted hub node

You would have a node at home that your radio talks to and then it would go out across the Internet to you hub node at the data center. Anyone else that had a node connected to it would hear you on their radios through their node at home or their repeaters.
You would need 2 nodes. One at home and one in the cloud.
I use a hub node at a data center because my repeaters have cellular connections at the repeater sites. I can’t forward ports, so they can’t take inbound connections.
I put a hub node in a data center, connect all of my repeaters to the hub and problem solved.
If you want to talk to my repeaters or my personal node, connect to the hub and everyone will hear you.
