If that’s what you want to go for and you want to increase performance
with the currently available tools (no changes needed, so nothing blocks
doing this today), you could run multiple low-bandwidth nodes on the
gateway and configure them to connect to the node on the client. At 5
friend-to-friend connections Freenet pure friend-to-friend performance
starts to get pretty good.

The configuration can be done via pyFreenet. See our update over
mandatory test script for an example of connecting two nodes:
https://github.com/freenet/scripts/blob/b56225bedcc646a8ba88f04862e89f15e246d4b8/test-autoupgrade#L150

I’m running such a setup myself to have a pure darknet node (to dogfod
with how Freenet works for users who disable opennet for security
reasons) which still gets pretty good performance if most friends are
offline.

Isn’t that what happens with SSH port-forwarding? What am I missing?
