Hello,
I hope this message finds you well and staying safe. I appreciate the simplicity of this program, which is exactly what I was looking for, but I do have a quick question.
I noticed that the hostname of the device I'm running the software on has the device name with a ".home" at the end. Is this how the software names the device? I've never seen that before.
Thanks in advance!

Host names ending with .home are shown like that because your router configuration uses the so-called DNS-suffix.
Essentially "SOMENAME.home" and "SOMENAME" are the same.
Sometimes these suffixes can also be .lan or .local, but they mean the same thing.
