Interface configuration
-----------------------
-The next step is to configure your local side as well as the policy based
-trusted destination addresses. If you only initiate a connection, the listen
-port and endpoint is optional, if you however act as a server and endpoints
-initiate the connections to your system, you need to define a port your clients
-can connect to, otherwise it's randomly chosen and may make it difficult with
-firewall rules, since the port may be a different one when you reboot your
-system.
