 # remoted
 
 This service creates a path on the relevent remote location, going through anything network-related: TCP, UDP, HTTP, ...
+
+# TODO
+
+### authorizations
+
+The idea is to have a simple configuration file for authentication of remote connections, such as:
+
+    
+    clients = { "client123", alice.example.com, john@doe.com }
+    level1services = { pongd, weather }
+
+    ifext = enp0s25
+    pass in on $ifext from any for all to local services $level1services
+    pass in on $ifext from any for all to local services $level1services
