Description

I read the document but cannot get the point what the function of both servers are? It results the setting of relay and rendezvous server. For example, the remote is in China, say Shanghai, the local is in USA. And I have 3 VPS which can be used as rendezvous and relay servers. Say, there are each VPS located in USA, Japan and Shanghai. The question is which VPS shall be used as rendezvous server? The closest to the local or to the remote? Where should the relay be located? Close to local, remote, or the rendezvous server?

Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing documentation and the settings for the rendezvous and relay servers. Use the Shanghai, USA, and Japan deployment example to clarify each server's role and how location affects placement. The documentation is done when users can determine which VPS should host each service without needing further explanation.
