Why OOB?

Out-of-band access means you can reach the m1nd host even when the primary network path is down. This is critical for:

• Remote site recovery — reach a branch office when the main WAN link is down
• Emergency diagnostics — run network tools from a host with local network access
• Tunnel monitoring — verify IPsec/VPN tunnels from both sides
• Zero-trust access — Tailscale/ZeroTier provide encrypted, authenticated tunnels without exposing ports
