I think the biggest feedback item for me would be that most of the servers I access are on an internal network and firewalled off from external access. Which is not uncommon when you get into an enterprise setting (where this is useful)

So, my suggestion is to-do one of two things:

1. Create a gateway service which makes an effective reverse proxy into the network. Wouldn't fully recommend this option as many enterprises will see this a a huge hole in their networks.

2. Create a version of this which can be deployed to the internal network, and not have any connection to the cloud instance. Business models for this would probably be per-user licenses, and probably the best idea if you want to bring in the big bucks™️.

Thanks for the feedback! This is something we've had in mind for a while, and we're hoping to get to work on enterprise support (including other features like key sharing between team users and usage auditing) after solidifying the platform for independent users. It'll be easier to add proxy support, but I agree that a possible opening like that isn't going to cut it.

Another possible option is OAuth integration with cloud platforms like AWS or GCP, which more and more companies (including mine) are starting to use more often -- but they're still a minority compared to internal networks.
