Frequently Asked Questions

How does this client connect to WebSockets and SSE streams?
Connections are initiated directly from your browser engine using standard native WebSocket and EventSource APIs. No intermediate proxy or server-side relay is involved.
Does it support secure WebSocket (wss://) connections?
Yes! Both ws:// and wss:// secure sockets are supported. Note that modern browsers may require wss:// when loading from HTTPS origins to prevent mixed-content restrictions.
Are private payloads or tokens logged or uploaded anywhere?
No. Under our strict P0 privacy standard, all messages, authentication tokens, and stream payloads remain exclusively within your browser runtime memory.
Can I test local development endpoints like ws://localhost:8080?
Yes! You can connect to localhost, local Docker containers, or LAN IP addresses directly from your machine.
