I was reading your landing page at https://developer.puter.com/networking/ and was very confused by how you were achieving the "with no server or proxy" part, until much further down the page:

> "the connection is tunneled over a single WebSocket to a Puter relay"

Come on, it's both a server and a proxy, and it doesn't stop being those things just because you're calling it a relay.

I wrote that and I think you're right. We were trying to convey that you don't need to set up anything, but the wording could definitely be better. I'll change it.

apologies yes there is a wording error here, the correct wording is no CORS proxy, the reason why this is important is because cors proxies are inherently insecure (this is different because the TLS is done in your browser with a webassembly library).

no servers is referring to you not needing to host servers in the same as the term "serverless". Such is the ways of modern tech terms I fear

Seems easy to fix it and say 'no CORS proxy' and 'no need to host your own server'. It was very confusing to me too.

You are definitely right, going to see if I can talk to the relevant person to fix the wording on it
