yes, that's my point, serdan is being silly, you're right.

A self-hosted service requires local network, not internet

Many people tend to use their phones even when they're not at home.

You don't want the service to create arbitrary outbound connections, but you want your device to be able to communicate with the service.

It's been a while since I've done network stuff, but it sounds like a pretty simple textbook problem.

the technology my device uses to communicate with services, including self-hosted services, is known as the internet. local area networks only work in the local area, which frustrates the purpose of a mobile phone—being mobile, and all.

both the server and the client must be connected to the internet to communicate with one another across significant distances.

you're right, this is a textbook problem.

You can block a service from establishing outbound connections while allowing it to respond to inbound connections. It's pretty common to do this because server software generally has no business calling out unprompted.
