How does the connectivity work? Is there some sort of Cloudflare-like VPN-ish gateway that they host?
I went over to their Discord server and here's what I was able to glean.
I gather they run a web-facing server which accepts text I/O from your Textual apps running on your personal machine or server, probably as a daemon. The connection between these two is via normal TCP/IP connections which your firewall already allows. Your Textual apps receive keyboard and mouse events and text.
They claim it should be "essentially free" for hobby use.
The text stream between your apps and their servers will eventually be (or are) encrypted.
