I am finding it absurd that LMStudio now requires "accounts" and "previews" for what is and should very well be basic functionality (the instance linking - or whatever it's being called).

but if the entire point is "private, secure, and local" piping in a cloud account is ridiculous.

All LMStudio basically has to do is provide the most basic Reverse proxy from one instance to another, probably just using tokens without accounts would be a solid choice here.

While it's still convenient for the GUI, Wireguard (or Tailscale, I just have full UDP access + UniFi) + some convenient backend and reverse proxy is certainly the better option here.
