Which still requires that I would be sitting on an internal network with 
a router I have control over, in which case, why would I use socat? This 
setup would mean I have routing running on the Linux box, and I can 
filter what is being routed more easily just directly on the box without 
involving socat.

But this would also require that I have a separate network for this 
setup. We're talking about a machine that are on the internet today... 
On a well known, static ip address.
