Yes, sorry - my grammar could also use new features ;-)
Thanks for considering it!
In the APK is there any way, could there be a way, to disable
auto-discovery on server failure?
I have my server on a specific DNS name so I can access it from
anywhere. When the external connection fails the APK goes discovering
and I have to then manually re-enter the FQDN.
