This category covers all aspects of making connections.

You can learn about the differences between proxy and Peer to Peer (P2P) connections here: [Peer to Peer vs Proxy Connections](https://link.remote.it/docs/peer-to-peer-vs-proxy)  
The Desktop App, Mobile Apps and CLI are capable of making Peer to Peer connections, but may not be able to establish a Peer to Peer connection in all cases such as some CGNAT backhauls cannot support them. The Web Portal and graphQL API can only support Proxy connections.
