Hello,

Thank you for your app—it looks great! I believe it’s the only one that works without requiring installation (portable).

However, I’ve encountered an issue regarding the connection: it appears that the server initiates the connection to the client, which doesn’t work in my case due to the following setup:

My main/server computer (with the mouse and keyboard) has no firewalls or restrictions.
My second/client computer (which receives the mouse and keyboard input) has firewalls and restrictions, so it cannot accept incoming connections.

If I reverse the roles of the client and server, the app works, but that means using the mouse and keyboard of the second computer, which I don't want to.

Is there any option to configure the client to connect to the server, instead of the other way around?

Thank you in advance for your help!

Certainly possible to add this functionality but it's not implemented currently.

How difficult do you think it would be to implement it? Is that a possibility in a near future?

Thank you!
