So if 10.252.252.6 were configured as a router, could I join your ZT
network and use iptables to route my example.com 80/443 requests to
10.252.252.6, thereby granting me access to my web apps which are
configured to only allow your machine's WAN IP?

Is it possible (easy?) to run your own "core node" and so not interact
with the official core nodes at all?
