@gooseleggs This seems exactly what I was looking for, thank you!

Yep I noticed, nice touch 🙂

A couple questions though

1. The zitiblue network is not required right? Seems like remnants of the original docker compose quickstart
2. Does this `run-extrouter.sh` script also do the configuration required to automatically set it in such a way that this router will be preferred by devices on the same network as this router? I was taking a look at the thread that @TheLumberjack mentioned, and it seemed like [at some point you have to enter the console to add certain special policies](https://openziti.discourse.group/t/create-private-router-on-linux-machine/1164/4#policy-work-2), or am I mistaken?

Again, thanks for all the help 🙇‍♂️
