What happened?

I would like to have a button in the Interface to “make this device the server”. So when I click on the button, the other server would switch into client mode and my current device would switch into server mode. (I only have two devices connected, but I suppose this would also work for multiple devices; the server would still become a client and the other client would stay a client.)

Version
