That is how some other routers do it: You send 0.0.0.0/0 to an interface,
or a named connection. I think that's the best way of doing it.

But though the Pipeline appears to care what the remote IP address is,
it really doesn't. You can enter anything you want there (we use
192.168.110.1 by convention, a private IP address) as long as you point
0.0.0.0/0 to the same thing.
