Hello Alex Griffin,

I see that you added the Pagekite service to Guix and am thankful for
that and for showing me that Pagekite exists.  However I believe users
not familiar with setting up servers could think they need Pagekite in
cases where configuring their NAT to do port forwarding would be
enough.
