Provide a service where a GeFeSLE instance and a plugin/app/client can be keyed together.
Such that if you don't have a domain or more rigorous self-hosting implemented, but at least have the firewall hole opened up, you can always "find" your GeFeSLE server (ip etc.) because of a special magic key.
A server instance periodically (configurable) phones the master service and says "here I am". This is keyed to the magic passphrase that only the instance admin and and remote user(s) will know.
if a client can no longer reach the configured instance at the same IP it can ask the master instance for the server's IP given the passphrase.
likewise, the master instance can, for anyone who provides the passphrase, give a list of clients (and users) associated with that passphrase, their most recent IPs, last access time etc.
Note that this does NOT confer or convey any user authentication data, its merely a mechanism to "find my server" if you're self-hosting
