Description
I wonder if it would not be possible to include the Server-Url without completely recompiling the binaries.
Apart from low-level programming maybe there is the possibillity to replace some dummy-text by the server-url?
e.g. you put sth like this in the binary source code
```
$serverurl='##########'; // to be replaced
$dummy="";for ( $i=0;$i<9;$++){$dummy .= '#';} // recreate content from above
if ($serverurl == $dummy) { $serverurl = ""; } //if it is the dummy value ignore it
```
Now you can search the binary and replace "##########" by "https://remotely.one" or similar during installation and on request.
I have no idea if this is possible because of compression and/or sigatures of the binaries?
In Linux should possible to even use sed for that.

Research direction
The issue names no source file, test, or entry point; begin by locating how the server URL is embedded in the C#/.NET binaries and how installation produces them. Done means establishing whether post-build URL replacement is feasible without breaking compression or signatures, and defining the supported installation behavior.
