I don't think it's limited to a local network. I believe you can copy files anywhere. See https://github.com/magic-wormhole/magic-wormhole

The GUI people then need to fix their first sentence "Wormhole-gui is a cross-platform graphical interface for magic-wormhole that lets you easily share files, folders and text between computers on the local network."

Or am I confused again?

Good point. I might have to update that. I have never actually tried transferring between two networks and did not want to advertise i in case it didn't work.

It does indeed work outside of the local network. I have updated the documentation.
