- The page reports browser pings to four relay regions; its lowest-of-four measure excludes the relay-to-home-server leg.
Field notes
The page compares two connection modes: a relay address, which it says can let Steam list a server at the relay, and a tunnel that avoids adding a network adapter. It says common game ports are preconfigured and administrative ports stay private; relay-address mode can preserve player IPs for software that understands PROXY protocol. The agent is explicitly marked “not out yet,” so these are described capabilities rather than a working download.
