 Memory fades - actually once I went to a local starbucks a couple of
 miles away, the other time I went into my office 20 miles away. Took
 the opportunity to copy all of my media to OneDrive as well, since it
 was during the lockdown and I had 2 600/600 internet circuits sitting
 idle.

If there was a cloudflare daemon for Android, maybe - don't think phone
IPs are accessible from the outside.
