[atlas-sw-probes] How to change RIPE Atlas Software Probe configuration and network settings?

Oh ok, now I can see how it works. I thought the probe will be like standalone entity - like virtual machine that has its own IP address. Now I understand the probe just lives in the heart of the router, in the router's personality...
Thank you for explanation and all your hard work on this project.
