No Account RequiredYou won't need to sign in any account to use it. You can also improve its security and connectivity by self-hosting a relay server. By default, it uses public signaling servers listed by trystero. ConnectivitySecure Peer-to-Peer ConnectionsPowered by trystero, P2P Live Share establishes direct connections between peers using WebRTC. You can choose "trystero:mqtt" (preferred) or "trystero:nostr" when sharing to leverage the public signaling servers. Your data is encrypted end-to-end with the invitation link. Self-Hosted Relay ServerBesides Peer-to-Peer connections, you can also self-host a WebSocket relay server to improve connectivity. Or you can run the pre-built binary ws-server. Direct HostThe host can directly listen for incoming WebSocket connections without a relay server. This is useful when the guests can directly connect to the host. You can enable this by choosing "Host Locally" and selecting a network interface when sharing. Tencent Cloud Serverless对于中国用户，若需自行部署，目前作者找到的较好方案是腾讯云的 Serverless 云函数：
