using it to talk to machines when I’m not on the local network!

Are people really installing it for just local networked machines?

as someone considering going down this path, can you give some things to look up or watch out for?

Performance is great!

And not that hard to set up! I installed it on a Windows VM and used KASM to run it in the browser as a remote app. Installing Windows/Steam on the VM took longer than setting up the remote app (KASM was already installed on my server)
