Tell us your idea.

I understand that most of the people using Meshtastic is not that tech savy, and do not want to / need to to do port forwarding on a router to connect to node remotely, but there are some of as crazy mf :-)
I already have some ideas in my head to do it securely, like implement port knocking on my MikroTik, and based on port knocking automatically creating firewall rule.
I understand that it is complicated and not a burning issue to implement auth via protobuf, but at least I need a way to input my domain in App.
So could it be possible to implement:

1. domain input in address field instead only numerical IP address
2. implement custom port input, like "domain.com:5403" if I wanted to do a port remaping
3. implement node addresses profiles, like:

• Home profile - 192.168.1.100
• Internet profile - domain.com:5403

Point 2 is already implemented in #1861.

I second this feature request, security from the internet can be solved with VPN (rather than port knocking) and domain names are useful even in internal network :-).
