    ^^^^^^^^ thank you for bringing this option to my attention,
it's indeed very handy for making the indirection transparent.

not a workable solution because students cannot log into any gateways,
but it was easy enough to setup a port forwarder for reaching b.l.n.
I tested it today, and it works fine.
