I was thinking a script that happens x amount of seconds after boot up that

1) Creates a text file
2) echos what ever ifconfig would output [eth0 and wlan0] into it
3) uploads said file to a server

my problem is I don't know the syntax or if part two is possible, or if this is necessarily a good way of doing it. So I'm open to suggestions.

Not the approach id take, but you could do 1 & 2 in the same line with output redirection :

ifconfig -a > file.txt

Try it out.

Exactly, hell is other people's VPN software

openconnect > AnyConnect, iproute2 static and/or policy-based routes, maybe dnsmasq and you can make most lovely VPN configs work fine. Split tunnel and split tree however you want on the client side. Bonus points for doing it through config management.

No I do not want you to replace my default route just so I can access a few networks/hosts...
