I will point a dns entry to my system.

Is it best to access nets like Fxnet and others through another board or connect mine directly?
What advantages might there be in connecting directly vs accessing thngs through another system?
I will want to run the bbs on a small Lightsail instance, so running a server with multiple ports really isn't an issue for me.

Thanks,
Tom
